Networking PC to iPC and DL.2's?

I'm having trouble making my PC play friendly with both an iPC and DL.2's at the same time.

Normally the PC just runs the CMA for the DL.2's and the iPC runs with its loop-back adapter. On occasions that I use the PC as a networked console, it usually takes some monkeying around to get it talking to the iPC (rebooting things, assigning ip addresses... I don't know really, I just keep messing around till it works), but then the CMA doesn't find the DL.2's any longer.

I recently tried out the file sharing feature of v2.4, which worked amazingly easy (didn't have to reboot anything or assign new ip addresses), but once again the CMA no longer sees the DL.2's.

So I would love it if someone could give me some detailed instructions on how to make this work in a rock solid manner. :1zhelp:

Here is my setup:
Ethernet Switch 1: lines to each DL.2 (2 of them), line to switch 2
Ethernet Switch 2: lines to iPC, PC, line from switch 1
PC: 1 network card for lighting network, 1 card for internet

Thanks.

    Sorry for jumping late on this, but are you trying to run both CMA and H3PC down the same network line?

    While you might be able to get this to work (using a DHCP server such as a router), it really is not the best idea IMO.

    You should really have two separate networks here. One for Hog-3 stuff and a separate one for CMA. This may require an addtional network adapter in your case, or you may have to reconfigure your network adapter settings when switching networks for reasons already stated earlier in this thread.
