    After a long struggle INPA and DIS worked using carsoft cable. Free head shows in DIS. Thanks so much Randomy for your writeup. As joako mentioned it was necessary to remove and add network adaptor in SCO Admin for DIS to work- thank you joako for this tip!

    Attached some pictures.

    Hello,

    I'm from Holland, so if there are any typo's, my bad!

    This is the Carsoft module i also use!


    If being reading this topic because i found it to be very intresting.
    I installed VMWare and DIS by the article of Randomy, the i started reading this topic on how to use DIS with the Carsoft cable i got.

    Tried different things from topic's i've read on the forum and in the end got it working for 1 go, then i rebooted the XP machine, or the GT1VMWare machine and now i can't get the IFSserver and DIS connected to each other.

    Here are some screens about the settings and things that do work!
    -Carsoft works!


    -INAP works!


    -DIS boots



    and i can get to de Calibrate touch Screen part and enter 1-->2 for the APITEST. Only thing is i get the Time Out error!


    Here are some settings that where required:







    I tried removing the network adapter from the EDIABAS screen option 7 and then adding it again with the TCP/IP protocol and that helpt me one time to let IFHService to show IFHService - 192.168.68.30

    If the GT1 machine is running from Windows CMD i can ping the GT1 machine.

    My Windows Firewall is not active, and there are no other firewalls running. The XP machine is a clean install and the only thing installed is the software for running DIS and the stuff around it!

    Tried repairing VMware for maybe better networkadapter control or somethings like that, i just tried. After repair i changed the ip adresses back to the required values. Sometime when i checked the ip in the Virtual Networking Manager, VMnet1-->Subnet said that that ip adres was already being used by another VMnet controller, while VMnet8 is Disabled!?

    I hope that this is understandeble for the one's reading this.
    I hope someone could help me, i'm desperate because it has worked this afternoon

    TIA!

    Return to the "Calibrating Touch Screen" Menu in DIS and choose Oprion 3 "Configure protocol translator", then choose Option 3 - Change to Fister then Option 9 - Exit. Next Choose Option 2 - "Configure processes", then Option 3 - "Set vm off", Choose Option 2 to Apply the new configuration, then Option 9 - Exit. Finally, choose Option 1 to re-start Ediabas, then try the APItest again.

    David,

    If you can not ping between hosts that setting will have no effect.

    Joako, DIS is displaying LED network status indicators, since there is no indication of a diaghead emulator in use, vm is currently set to run and the system will fail an APItest.

    I can ping 192.168.68.1 from my machine so I know my host only network is working, for some reason I cannot complete the APITest, even with IFH-Service running

    I get

    When you rebooted the host, the firewall program didn't re-start did it?

    Open but do not start your virtual machine then from the edit menu choose Virtual network settings. Click on the host virtual network mapping tab, then clock on the > to the right of the Vmware Network Adapter VmNet 1 line. Click on Subnet and make sure the IP address is 192.168.68.0, Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 then save the settings. Often these settings are altered by your computer during installation of DIS, and need to be corrected.

    Be patient, it can take a minute to return to DIS from the calibration screen. Try defragging the virtual machine before you start DIS by clicking the edit virtual machine settings, highlighting the hard drive, then clicking the utilities button to choose defragment. If you have defragged the vm and are still getting a black screen when you attempt to return to DIS, the option is to choose option 0 to close DIS, then re-start id rather than attempting to use option 9 to exit back to the main screen. I am fairly confident that defragging the vm will cure the problem.

    I tried those options and it did'nt work, im still getting the TIME-OUT error!

    I removed my internet device from SCOADMIN like someone said on the forum, and added al three of the internet devices with ip numbers starten at 68.30 to 68.32.

    I then got the leds in the top of the screen red, yellow, green, but still getting a APItest fail and no connection with IFHserv32.

    Now the machine keeps asking for a root login and password. Entered those 2 values and after that tried init 6. Machine keeps rebooting but no DIS boot. Keep getting the login screen!

    I don't no what to do next, i installed a compleet new GT1 system as i removed the old one and followed the Randomy guide! Still no succes!

    Please help!

    So, reinstalled everything, Again.......

    Now online removed one networkdevice from SCOADMIN and added ONE! With IP 192.168.68.30. I can now ping it from XP. I changed the settings as told Post #103 from David MC. Tried an APITest and it succeeded! FINALLY

    Now im going to try and install Diaghead, wil see if it works!

    Kram328i, in order to help you, we need to know what OS is running on your host computer, what version of Vmware you are using and if you are using EasyDIS.
    APItest fails with EasyDIS and Windows XP are usually caused by:-
    1. Incorrect IP address for VmNet 1 (Should be 192.168.68.0)
    2. Incorrect or no modifications to EDIABAS.ini file 192.168.68.1, Interface type, port 6801
    3. Incorrect or more than one AMD network adapter in SCOAdmin
    4. Failure to correctly amend /etc/hosts file and/or /etc/EDIABAS.ini in scoadmin
    5. Firewall or Antivirus software running.
    6. Failure to start IFHSrv32 netserver before opening DIS
    7. Incorrect Translator (Use FISTER)
    8. Incorrect Protocol settings (set vm to not run and update configuration)
    9. Failure to restart EDIABAS from inside DIS after amending translator or protocol settings.
    10. Software incorrectly loaded.
    11. Using a diaghead emulator (seperate list of possible faults for this one alone!)

    Apart from item 10., reasons for failure have not been listed in any particular order.

    thanks David
    I finally got i running today
    i was running easydis and xp
    my problem was #8 on your list
    i was doing this on an ibm t30
    why is using a diaghead emulator bad?
    thanks again you've been a great help

    Glad to see you are up and running. Use of a diaghead emulator is unnecessary (apart from enabling display of the signal indicators at the top of the DIS home screen), unnecessarily complicates installation (as you need to specify diaghead parameters, choose a head and connect it to your network) and introduces the need to run and monitor yet another program (diaghead emulator) whilst running DIS.

    Only when the battery was on its way out, you can use DIS for great diagnostic info and repair guides but there are no codable modules on the E36 if that is what you mean.

    I use the UK version but it only covers the E36 with M42 or M43 engine. Some of the very early cars didn't have too many electronically diagnosable systems fitted.
