Re: Starting up IP message
ARE YOU a tech or enduser?
what do you mean " check network "? this sounds like a setting isn't quite right
if you can ping why replace all those expensive boards?
please post settings for the network.
you are 'shot gunning' the repair without knowing the CAUSE of the problem. rookie move.
do you have the manual?
what is the SPECIFIC MESSAGE?

Re: Starting up IP message
well the FACT that your lapper prints to indicates a BAD CABLE ...
you could print to it but swapped boards? WHY
I always start with the simple shit that a dumbass user can screw up .. THE CABLE.. or NETWORK
is it set for DHCP or STATIC (preferred) with it set to DHCP IF the machine is turned off ( or sometimes long sleep mode ) DHCP can reassign that IP addy.
reason I asked about the 'tech' thing your profile doesn't state ANY tech experience ... really it says NOTHING about you. WHY NOT?
this info helps us determine whether to treat you like an end user or someone with a working knowledge of machines.
frankly IMHO you blew it by not looking at cable/network before you started swapping boards around.
I would have razed any of my techs for doing that... KISS principle is ALWAYS a good place to startComment

Re: Starting up IP message
hi,
did you ping it with the -t command and then take out the cable to see if it stops pinging? Maybe the IP address is pinging but to another device on the network?Comment

Re: Starting up IP message
Yeah, you could have an IP conflict with 2 devices on the same IP address. I'd scan the network and look at all the IP addresses being used.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Re: Starting up IP message
Process of elimination is when you connect your laptop directly to machine with their own cable if it works - machine side is good. It's that simple no matter how many main boards you have handy or machine next room is working etc. Going alternative ways is basically chasing your tail imho.A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.Comment

Re: Starting up IP message
Take the MFP off the network, then ping the address. If something answers it's not your MFP. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
