WINDNC 5.1 Error

[RDot604]

Hey, Im running mastercam X2 MR2 and everything seems to be working fine with that. I Use WinDnc 5.1 to post my stuff to the xxxxor. It was working fine, but then now when i open Windnc, it says "detecting CNC device", then it gets past that...It freezes at "Scanning Remote Directory (Programs)". After about 10 seconds, a windows pops up saying "transmission Error"...I've tried replacing the cable and restarting both the PC and the xxxxOR, but nothing it working....Please help asap. I need to cut out a couple of sinks:P

Im guessin, but have you tried to power both down and leave them sit for a few minutes then bringing everything back up?

 

just guessin and sometimes if I have unexplainable trouble.. I just power everything down and back up.

Yah....Its just not connecting to the xxxxor properly...I got a brand new cable serial cable. I have a converter cable to USB, which ive had for a while and it was working b4. The light is still lit on the USB converter, so I dont know what seems to be the problem...

Still having this issue. I was wondering wut other programs r there to post to the xxxxor. Windnc seems very old and there is no support for it...I would like to use something more up to date.

We use ConnectCNC on our Mori-Seiki. There's a free download good for 30 transfers and I think the license was around $150.00 USD

is the cable null modem? or is it a straight theu cable?

Oh hey Ajmer, Havent heard from u in a while.....Its a 9 pin with a 9 pin/usb converter. It used to work, but now its not working and ive tried many different things. Im not sure if its settings on the computer or if its the usb converter cable itself....Im getting a 9pin pci card tomorrow, so i can just hook it up directly. ill see how that goes...
