PROFINET appears to be a TCP/IP protocol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PROFINET As such, it likely depends on a valid IP address in order to work correctly, yes? Since you're changing the IP address of the adapter it's hardly surprising that Profinet packets are being lost. ARP does not rely on IP. That's why it continues to work, regardless of what the adapter's IP address is. Do you have any documentation on Profinet? What its various packet layouts looks like? -- "Fish" (David B.
