Hi Everyone,

First of all, thank you in advance for your help. I should mention I am new to Linux, new to CNC, and new to Mesa cards. I have been following the tutorial for getting started with the Mesa 7i96s by talla83 en, but I have been stuck for the last couple of days trying to get the Mesa card found using the Mesaflash command but it always says No 7i96s found. I have tried following tutorials for changing the local IP address, thinking there is a conflict as well as changing the jumper on the card to change the IP address but neither have worked. I wanted to put up my settings here hoping one of you will notice a glaring mistake I have made and could point it out. Thanks once again

Try:

mesaflash --device ethernet --addr 192.168.1.121 --readhmid

You have the host set to the same address as the 7I96 card
(so you are pinging your host PC)

For a 7I96S set to 192.168.1.121, use 192.168.1.100/24 for the host 

For a 7I96S set to 10.10.10.10, use 10.10.10.100/24 for the host

( 10.10.10.10 is suggested rather than 192.168.1.121 as the 192.168.1.XX
range is often overlapped with local DHCP network addresses)
