unable to retrieve autostart script

Hey Guys,

I´m new here and need some help please.

I´m using a connectport x4
2.13.0.7 (Version 82001536_J 03/22/2011)

with Digi ESP for Python

Version: 1.4.0
Build ID: 20110727

I created a iDgi autoneum sample project but while trying to upload the progress bar stopps at 57% and give me a error message:
Error: Unable to retrieve autostart script , read time out.

I´m connected via crosscable
any suggestions ?

Thx
Stefan

Cross cable is hard to use with ESP and X4, since every time the X4 ‘reboots’ your PC (Windows, etc) will shutdown the Ethernet port, then restart it, do auto-negotiation, etc. The amount of time delay between when the PC’s Ethernet stack is active again can vary.

What I see is that some computers have little trouble with cross-cables, and others basically won’t work. So I’d suggest trying with a small switch or hub so the PC’s Ethernet port isn’t also ‘rebooted’ each time the X4 is.
