    Can't connect 528i to ISTA+

    I have followed the instructions in THIS PDF (great instructions BTW if they are in fact accurate) and I still can't seem to connect my car to ISTA+. I am using an ENET cable, however, I don't have an ethernet cable port, so I have to use an adaptor to connect it to a USB port. Could that be they it causing the problem? I am using VMWare to run ISTA.

    Please let me know what other info you need and I will be glad to provide it!

    Go to connection manager and post the screen. When you connection ENET to your laptop or PC is it appear in the device manager of vmware?

    I ended up buying a one click installation solution and it worked great. Every set of instructions I found didn't apply to the files I had downloaded so I just started over with an automatic installation and the problem is solved. Thank you!
