That’s certainly a possibility, I have two layers of NAT and a firewall to go through to get to the internet, if the response to the weather data comes in on a different port than the request, it’s gonna get kicked out by the firewall.
I have tried DHCP and Static on two different subnets of the network here. The gateway is correct. In fact, the device will actually set the NTP time, so it has internet access, it’s just once it starts normal operation it seems to no longer be able to reach the gateway and it spends all it’s time in a loop. I’m pretty much baffled, the only thing I haven’t tried yet is setting it up on a switch so that I can use wireshark to monitor its network traffic, which I’ll probably do next week when I have some time.
The network segment I’m on is a 10.105.0.x network, with a 255.255.255.0 subnet. My gateway is within that subnet. It exists as part of a larger 10.x.x.x network, but that shouldn’t matter.
I was setting up the static IP to test when I noticed the subnet mask thing. I work at an internet provider, so the network can get a little convoluted, it might just not be running afoul of that. Would the logs show what it was doing when it’s not responding to the buttons? I could throw a microsd card in and let it record some.
Well that’s an odd one. I brought it home and hooked it into my home network, and it works fine. It does not operate on my office network. I’m wondering if it’s the IP scheme we use at work, or the network topology itself. It was able to grab an IP , get the NTP information, and set the time. After that it just freaks out. I can’t say it’s the network hardware, I connect about a dozen computers a week up to my network for repairs and none of them have ever had an issue like this.
I notice there’s no subnet mask to set, is that automatic based on your IP/gateway? Or does it not use one at all? I’m wondering if it’s picking up the network traffic from every subnet in the office network and just flipping out.
The green light is constant, the orange light is blinking non-stop. I show an ethernet link on my network switch. The chip is oriented correctly, and I’ve gone over my soldering with a magnifier, I can’t find any shorts on any connectors. When I unplug the ethernet cable, the buttons start working again. It’s almost like once it’s connected to the network it’s spending all it’s clock cycles trying to communicate. I’ve plugged into a different switch, and tried different patch cables as well.
