Hi, I’m having trouble pinging DroneNet from my PC - everything works for about a minute, then requests start to time out.

DroneNet has a fixed IP set, DHCP turned off and no other connections, just power and ethernet connection to the PC (via the 2 supplied twisted pairs).

I’ve tried setting the NIC on the PC to both 10M and 100M fixed rate, but no difference. I’ve also tried it on 3 different PCs (all on WIN10) and with two different DroneNets (one is the new C1 revision).

Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks a lot
