T4 on a Dell Latitude
Picked up T4 a while back but I just can’t get the software to install on the Dell C610 laptop. A complete novice when it comes to Windows but tried many times and failed, RDS 5.06 seems to install correctly as does Omitec Caps but then … and the final test reports 100s of file inconsistencies. Drivers issue? XP SP1 or SP2?
My son has what I imagine to be a Neo type friend, spends his life in darkness on a diet Red Bull supposed to be a Windows wizard but the machine and discs were returned to me today unsuccessfully installed. Now wondering if there are any T4 owners with the same Dell laptop (original?) who might be able to help get what is possibly one of the last machines in Sweden working again? Hopefully … |

Here are the results from my own T4 which definitely works ok In fact here it is connected to the Freelander™, just look at the dealer options on offer .......... Are the LAN settings correct, and is it connecting to the interface? all questions that need to be answered. Brian |

Many thanks for your reply, especially the knowledge that the file system inconsistencies can be ignored as I had imagined that was crucial.
I think I checked the LAN settings previously, was that the one with a standard IP address? Please remind me. And how do I check it's connecting to the interface, is that part of the Integrity tests? I have noticed that the handheld device is active. Your help is appreciated. Mike |

The IP address for the network adaptor must be set at 192.168.001.002 and the speed set 10 MBS half duplex with line negotiation off.
If the network adaptor set to obtain an IP address automatically, it won't work, nor if the speed and duplex are set incorrectly. The green LAN LED should be lit on the interface constantly, and the yellow LED flash when traffic is on the line |

OK, I think you said earlier that the IP address was automatically assigned by the RDS disc (?) but I can check it's as per your post. And I gather I'll find the set speed 10 MBS with line negotiation off under network settings?
The laptop is in the spare room at the moment but I'll reconnect it to the T4 tomorrow and see if I can see any green (constant) or yellow lights (flashing) and report back. Thanks again |

Slowly getting there (I think) but now stuck - Brian says "line negotiation off" so I have a look around network settings but can't find anything that relates, ask Mr. Google but he just want to show me lots of ads.
Anyone who can advise please? Regards Update. No vehicles found on DST0006V but when I used an older copy (DST0004) I have the full choice of vehicles. But no LAN lights, not green or yellow, and when I try to connect to the car it says reports a problem with the red lead, tells me to try the blue one and then says there’s a problem with the long patch lead. Luckily I have TOAF for my cars but I would have liked to be able to help local owners with other variants. Last edited by vitesse; 6th June 2020 at 11:55.. Reason: More information |

Maybe someone who know the settings can do a TeamViewer with you and fix it?

Thanks for the input. I used Team Viewer many years ago when we did the remote T4 project, very easy. I asked Brian about the same but he has never used it. Just hoping someone more at home with Windows than me can figure things out, or perhaps has the same kind of Dell (original computer?).
At the moment I'm lost. But the fact that the LAN diodes don't give any indication of a connection seems to point to a network issue. Regards from a very wet Sweden |

So no green light, is the interface powered up with the mains lead? it the LAN lead OK? and another thing to check.......there is a small hole next to the LAN socket on the interface. Inside this hole is a crossover switch for the LAN, and you might wish to toggle the position, a jewellers screwdriver or similar will be needed. Keep going, you will get there Brian |

Can I forget the line negotiation or is this still a hurdle? Sorry for the all the questions, wish the ferry was still running to Newcastle! Mike ps think I found the toggle button - labelled MDIX - will try again tomorrow Last edited by vitesse; 6th June 2020 at 17:33.. Reason: additional info |
