#259495 - 01/07/2005 03:37 USB/Ethernet
CFinch106 new poster Registered: 14/07/2004 Posts: 23	I'm on Windows XP Pro and everytime I connect to the riocar it says "Unable to open usb connection." I have ver. 2 of the player firmware and emplode software installed, with XP drivers. I've tried to do it through Ethernet but it doesn't ever find the riocar, I don't know how to get songs to it other than the serial cable and that's rediculous. I don't know what settings to use for ethernet either. It's also saying "download failed while initializing Error 0xc0041837" Edited by CFinch106 (01/07/2005 03:48)

JBjorgen carpal tunnel Registered: 19/01/2002 Posts: 3584 Loc: Columbus, OH	For USB, upgrade to version 2.0 final and carefully read the release notes. It contains the information and the driver to swap your existing usb driver with one compatible with Windows XP. _________________________ ~ John

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	Cfinch106, please read these two FAQ entries: Why doesn't Emplode work via USB on Windows XP? Why can't I get ethernet to work? Both of those should solve your problems if you follow the instructions carefully and read all the sub-links. _________________________ Tony Fabris

SonicSnoop addict Registered: 29/06/2002 Posts: 531 Loc: Triangle, VA	Have you tried other cables? or maybe the same cable just switched sides of it to see if its the empeg or the cable that has the problem with link? Glad you were able to get it wsorking with ethernet. _________________________ -D Modifying and Tweaking is a journey, not a destination................................

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	Quote: I have to push the cable towards the floor for the link light to show up You could have some broken circuit traces on the motherboard. But it could be something as simple as bent pins on the ethernet jack. Earlier, I linked a FAQ entry which gave instructions on how to fix the pins if that's the case. It also could be a bad cable. Again, described in that FAQ entry. Got another cable to try? _________________________ Tony Fabris

CFinch106 new poster Registered: 14/07/2004 Posts: 23	I tried a few cables the first time and got no link, but I wasn't pressing, so I guess it's something more serious.

CFinch106 new poster Registered: 14/07/2004 Posts: 23	I opened the case of the unit itself and tried to fix a pin with a small flathead scredriver and ended up knocked other pins out of their slots, then trying to put those back I bent them.
