Also, this is one of those messages that you seemingly can't get a straight answer out of tech support on.
Near as I can tell, the -257 error is what you get if you try sending serial data to a TCP/IP client that isn't currently connected. I haven't been bored enough to verify that on my own - wish T.S. or documentation could just say as much.

If the only thing you're doing is putting a 1 on the enable of the TCP/IP client and shooting serials off to it, you're getting ahead of yourself.
Monitor the analog output of the TCP/IP Client symbol. Do not send anything to the tx$ input UNLESS that value is 2.
I'm assuming you've verified the port number that you entered on the TCP/IP symbol in programming mode?
Also, get the silly stuff out of the way - connect to your processor with the command line tool and try "PING 192.168.1.179". If that fails, you've got issues aside from your SIMPL program...

hi yeah my bad that error was taken when I was trying to use a friendly name not an ip as I could not get it to work with the ip address. the error now reads the same but with the ip 192.168.1.179.
and idea what the status= -257 means

67.215.65.132 is opendns.com. It looks like you typed the IP address
into the TCP-Client symbol incorrectly.

Hi All,
As I said above I am fairly new to this, but I am trying to control a Marantz av
receiver using the TCP/IP Client. After sending the connect string all I get back is the
following message.
Notice:TCP Client Slot-08.IP-ID-25: Unable to connect to TCP server (67.215.65.132\0, status = -257
Now the IP address that is listed is not the one that I have entered into the Marantz or
the IP Client module so im thinking that it must be an issue with DNS. I have tried both
the DNS server on my modem and a third party one.
Any body know what staus = -257 means or come across this problem before.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Alex
