Success! Sort of. Once I changed the address from 192.168.1.121 to ...122
I was able to connect to the MESA and also the WiFi.

Why do you persist in messing around with samba/cifs? It has not worked
2 apt updates in a row since Tridgle took on a partner better than a
decade back. So I have been using sshfs for all that stuff with only
very minor fixes, non-stop for a decade and change. The only PITA is
typing my user pw 16 times to get 8 bask shells into 8 machines and 8
more for the sshfs mounting of those 8 machines. , then a script that
umounts that dir, throwsaway the error and remounts hom/me on all those
machines. Except for root being denied it Just Works.
I created an /sshnet directory, the another subdir named for the
machines name.
I can even use Chrome to surf the web although it keeps asking for those
stupid keys (3x).
Next problem though is I want to install samba to link the way I have my
linux based Raspberry Pi, Beagles and even a macbook running linux with a Pi
user interface.
I get this dreadful feeling that I'm going to have to rebuild my Linux
system for a newer version.
john@LinuxCNC-G3616:~$ uname -a
Linux LinuxCNC-G3616 4.9.0-16-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.9.272-2
(2021-07-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
If I do a
sudo apt update
I get path not found errors. Kind of like Windows no longer supporting
WIN-7 I guess.
And therefore
sudo apt install samba
doesn't work either.
What will I break if I do a
sudo apt upgrade
Thanks
John

I have 3 machines running Ethernet Mesa cards and have had no problems
using them with USB wifi dongles.
Do you have your Ethernet port assigned with a static IP address? This

Hi all,
My LCNC system is in the garage and the PC has only one hardware
Ethernet
port which is connected to the MESA 7i92H. Works like a charm. No
issues.
I thought instead of sneakernet I'd try a WiFi adaptor I found in my
sons
things when I was cleaning up his stuff after his untimely passing.
No problem. Plug in the adaptor. Boot the PC.

Once I entered the correct password to get into my network it was alive.
Visible on the network.
I then clicked on the ICON to start LinuxCNC and nada. Couldn't connect
to
the MESA and therefore LinuxCNC didn't start.
OK. Backtrack. Unplug WiFi USB. Restart PC and run LinuxCNC. Home all
axis
and move to XY home. Super. It works. Then plug in the WiFi dongle.
It
connects to the network and the Axis Interface immediately reports a
communications problem with the MESA board. Unplugging the WiFi
doesn't
matter. I have to stop AXIS but the command line window also needs to
be
killed. Trying to restart tells me LCNC is still running and do I want
to
restart.
Yes. And all is good in the LCNC world.
So the question is: How do I tell Linux to cooperate with both the MESA
and
the WiFi Dongle?
Thanks
John
