new pnc.config won't load in linuxcnc

Sorry, I forgot t include the card name in the path.

If you unzipped the 7i76e.zip file in your home directory it would be:

cd ~/7i76e/configs/hostmot2

ok, i know im being a pain. i managed to reflash the 6i25 to 7i76_7i77. but trying to reflash the 7i76e it says board not found. i can ping it at 10.10.10.10and get responce but my network connection must be wrong some how.

If you can ping 10.10.10.10 but you get a "board not found" error
it usually means you have set the PC's IP address to 10.10.10.10
(instead of say 10.10.10.100)

( so you are pinging the PC )

well i just followed one of the tutorials on the forum and now i have no networks, i had to go to my windows pc to respond. i will have to get connection 1 working first for internet, then figure out connection 2. i didn't change anything in connection 1 but now i lost it.

i rebooted the computer, now connection 1 works and connection 2 although says not connected, i can ping the 7i76e and the mesaflash readhmid comand spits info out, now i should be able to reflash it. one question, the 7i77 should i connect that to the 7i76e through the expansion port1 through the db25 on the 7i77

Yes, 7I76E P1 to 7I77 with HDR26 --> DB25M cable
