This is a WIN 11 problem. Doesnt sound like it applies to you.

***

Thanks! I started out making the Win11 machine do everything and I *should* have it already working.. Then in actual use, I just used both laptops..

If I haven¡¯t already made it work, then yes it does, as it¡¯s a new Win11 setup.. I will be checking this out as soon as the rain stops ¨C it will stop, right? ¨C here in sunny CA.. I *DO* remember that first I couldn¡¯t get the Ethernet into the port.. Then I couldn¡¯t get it out.. So I *know* it was attached and I *should* have gone all the way and made sure I could control the mount..

??? Hopefully it¡¯s just my advanced age / memory.. I have this entire thread saved and should be able to ¡°check it out¡± this weekend..

I cant find the original tip, but my problem was the method recommended by Brian was not allowing me to store the IP addresses on my computer side of the Ethernet adapter. I used an alternative method to get to the adapter entry? ?Control Panel->Network and Internet->Network and Sharing Center->Ethernet.

(You must have already been connected to the ethernet)? ?I had to do this ONLY because the method Brian showed in his video did not allow me to save my IP addresses after I hadentered them. This is a WIN 11 problem. Doesnt sound like it applies to you.

a google tip to go through the control panel to install my ethernet IP address.

***

What tip ¨C exactly ¨C would that be??

??? I *think* I already have my Ethernet working on my new WIN11 machine, but maybe I only installed the software.. I *thought I set it all up and had it working, but then I started using two laptops at the scope, this original Win7 for mount control and the new Win11 for image capture, so now I don¡¯t know..

I changed the gateway AND used a google tip to go through the control panel to install my ethernet IP address. That worked. Thanks to all for your help. I hate new computers.

yeah that seems to be an issue for saving. for a direct IP connect i'm not sure the gateway is critical, so you can try changing it to something else, or the ip address of the gemini

+1 to Art and David! It¡¯s prob not allowing you to save b/c it duplicates the (incorrect) gateway address.

Your gateway should not be the same IP.

GW is probably 192.168.1.1

Ping it to verify. Open a cmd window and type ping -t 192.168.1.1 to see if you get a response?

Hi Mike

This is a Windows 11 quirk. It's definitely possible to save it, although I forget the exact details. You'll want to hunt this down as a Windows 11 thing (google may give you some good leads here). i'm not in front of a computer right now

Thanks?Brian, I was unaware of that particular video.? I followed all your instructions and ran into a snag when? I tried to configure the ethernet side on my Windows 11 computer. It doesnt look quite the same as your example, but pretty close. However, when I enter all the parameters the screen wont let me save it. I have tried it with and without the DNS server information. Here is what I get:

Hi Mike

?

what instructions did you follow?

?

The details depend on how you are connecting:

?

if you are doing a direct ethernet connection there's a tutorial here:

?

if you are going via router, there's a tutorial (longer discussion, but it explains it) here:?

Hi

? ? ?I used the ethernet connection from my old Dell Win10 machine with no problem. I followed theGemini II setup instructions and it worked great. I now have a new Lenovo Win 11 laptop and I cannot get the Ethernet connection to work. I tried using gemini and also the HTTP address, and can't make a connection. I was wondering if anyone could give me some setup / testing ideas to figure out what my problem is, or a reasonable alternative (not involving Wi-Fi) to use.?
