Hi,

We bought a Ethernet Blaster II and it was failing to do the DHCP IP addressing on 1 Gbps network but got it working by setting the ethernet switch to 100 Mbps.

It is working, I can use it for ILA.

Is there any firmware upgrade for the Ethernet Blaster II ? The link on the Ethernet Blaster II webserver page points to altera not exisitng webpage.

After a first ILA acquisition, the Ethernet blaster connection is lost under windows 10, but it stays connected under linux, good enough.

Edit: also looses connection after some ILA grabs under Linux...

Alex.
