Epson dashboard Onyx Postershop Network question

[chris20630]

Hello form Germany,
till now our Epson S40600 is connected to WIN 10, Onyx 21. Epson Dashbord shows correct Printer IP, which I set manually.
Printer is connected via ethernet LAN. Ethernet-Board IP4 on WIN 10 PC is set manually as well. All is ok!
Now I installed a WIN 11 to move to this PC in future.
For my understanding, I set up indentical as old PC. Epson Dashboard now shows alternately correct printers IP adress and minutes later false IP, after minutes again correct, and so on...
Onyx Postershop is working and printing but it doesn´t import media info from printer, what the old installation does. Now I have to set the media in Onyx and roll width manually.
I assume it´s the thing with the flipping IP adress. Maybe ther is a false network setting.

Thanks for your ideas!!
Chris

My guess would be that Windows 11 set your ethernet port to a Public Network. The windows firewall uses different rules for public and private networks and you will have to make an exception for those programs to work with a public network.

Open the Windows Security App >go to Firewall and Network Protection > Allow an App through Firewall. Make sure all of the programs you need have both Public and Private Network checked.
