    AR-M236 with AR-NC5J network problems

    Hello there,
    we have a Sharp AR-M236 with a AR-NC5J, a printer & a scanner kit.
    It has some problems with the network, after it's powered up it works for a few minutes and after that dead silence. It doesn't reply to a ping, doesn't send the scanned pages etc.
    The NIC status has the correct TCP/IP settings, IPX, Appletalk and Netbeui are disabled.
    Already changed the hub and the network cable. Using a cross cable works for a longer time.

    It was so untill today, when I tried it in the morning the machine didn't respond to ping anymore even if just power cycled.

    Any idea? Firmware of the AR-NC5J is 1.03.


    Thanks!!!

      I found out what happened and why the machine doesn't work even for a minute. My colleague is an 1d10t.

      He saw on the Sharp service site that there was a firmware named FW_ARNC5J_VER1.2.bin and thought that it was a smart move to upgrade it. In fact when loaded in the firmware upgrade utility the version is clearly stated as 1.02.00... I found out the "strange version" number when checking the NIC with the forced loader jumper on.

      I looked around the service site at Sharp, but couldn't find the 1.03.01 firmware. (at least on the Italian site) Does anyone know where to find it?.

      I'm also searching for a very slow way to kill someone

          Solved, thanks!

          The firmware upgrade solved also some issues we had with accessing a LDAP directory server.

                  I think you might have to pay for this site? But I know they have all firmware, manual, drivers, etc https://www.sharp-service.com/login.htm
                  this site is good for downloads and it is free, not sure if they have firmware
