Hi,

my name is alan and i have the above ecu fitted to my subaru,i had a big fear of touching my ecu for fear of doing something wrong ect and me and computers dont get on well at the best of times so that doesnt help,anyway i took the plundge and signed up here today for the first time and i found ryans user manual so decided to try take a log from the ecu so i followed the steps and managed to successfully take some logs and have them saved now after more reading i decided to try connect to the ecu using scal to check were there any errors present so i followed the steps and tryed to connect and couldnt and no device present was popping up so i then tryed to go back and follow the steps for taking a log which i was able to do earlier and i couldnt do this either and was just getting this pop up each time i tryed to open a syvecs app saying cant start lifenet server .

i appoligise looking for help on myfirst post but as i say i have big fear of computers/ecus ect and wondering have i done something wrong but its weird i could take a log earlier and now and i cant connect to ecu as its saying none detected.

Hi!

Try restarting your computer.
Also check network and sharing center / adapter settings / local area connection is enabled.
You may mistakenly disable it by touching keyboard shortcut keys

Beware of Windoze hibernation / suspension... it will royally mess up the Ethernet driver to the point that the PC needs rebooting to fix it. Unfortunately, being a system function, we can't veto the hibernation / suspension or at least pop up a window to say "you should close down the apps before you hibernate / suspend". So Windoze just screws itself up. Moral of the story.... quit the apps if leaving the lappy in a state where it might hibernate or suspend.

Cheers,

Pat.
