Now i can ping the 10.0.0.10 because I should've used the other ethernet port but i still get the same error
Code:

So, what board do you have?

And don't use the "eth:" part in the connection string

5A-75E ver8
EDIT: ok so i tried without the eth: and now it works. Thank you !
Code:

Does anybody know what type of board type do i write in the JSON config if i have a version 8 5A-75E. Because right now I'm using VER 6 and it can write fine but when monitoring it in LinuxCNC it has problems reading the pins. e.g. When i set on an out pin and measure the pin in the board it, it doesnt show that it's on.

It will depend on which branch but for the main branch look here
github.com/Peter-van-Tol/LiteX-CNC/blob/....0_i12o14p6s6e6.json

or 11-add-external-extensions-to-litexcnc

github.com/Peter-van-Tol/LiteX-CNC/blob/...75b_v8.0_i24o32.json

5A-75E Version 8.2
I spotted a new FPGA in the wild. I received a version 8.2 of the 5A-75E. It took me some time to get it talking to LinuxCNC, but that was my fault. If you receive such an FPGA, you can use the firmware for the version 6.0 as the pin-out seems to be the same. The only difference seems to be a higher speed grade for the FPGA.

It seems that there are some differences in the board definition.
There can be found in the litex folder
/litex/litex-boards/litex_boards/platforms/colorlight_5a_75e.py

maybe you can add or change the Pins for your needs

EDIT:
I found some information which says that the V6 should fit the V8 pinout.
