I just looked at the Cimco program. It uses DNS (Directory Naming
Services) which is an IP service or NFS which is a Windows
proprietary service for computers to share resources. The Dyna
controller would have to support DNS with an IP address (something
like 192.161.99.XX and both machines would have to be on the same
subnet (first three octents have to match for a class c address) but
different final octents (the XX part) before the machines could even
start to talk. Cimco uses FTP to actually move the files so to the
remote computer and it would have to have an FTP server built into
it. This is NOT simple RS232 communication. IP and FTP as well as
NFS are all do across ethernet networks, not serial ports. If there
is a serial transfer inside Cimco it would not use FTP, DNS or NFS as
the protocol. While XP will network up with other ethernet devices
it has to use either TCP/IP or Netbeui (Windows protocol) to make the
connection. Sounds like the Dyna is an older machine that does not
support any of those protocols.
