Windows 7 and netbeui

[Nils N]

Now with windows 7 we can no longer communicate with our machine for file transfer. In XP it was a simple process using the netbeui protocol and mapping the net to the machine we could easily transfer cut files directly to the machine. Now, Windows 7 does not support netbeui.

 

 

 

So, to get around this we have two computers, a new one with Windows 7 and another with XP. The XP machine can communicate with the CNC and with 7. So I drag a file from 7 to XP and then to the CNC. Works OK except I have to have another computer here. We tried running XP in 7 with a virtual machine but haven’t been able to get it working yet. I guess we’ll keep trying but I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a way to make it work.

This wouldn't happen to be a Haas would it? I recently went through the same thing trying to dump the NC files on the Haas hard drive. IT is possible in Windows 7. This link here is the steps we follwed to get it working.

Steve thanks, no we have a Quintax 5 axis router not a Hass. We tried what the link had but still not working

[Nils N]

Oh and we have a F@gor controller and I've just sent them a request to see if they have a work around.

in virtual pc config, change network adapter to your card instead of shared or otherwise. also inside the virtual machine, in network settings, turn off everything except netbeui.

is the quintax os/2?
