[Elphel-support] Elphel connection problems.

[Mike Fadock]

Hello.

I am attempting to hookup to an elphel camera unit from Ubuntu 9.10.

I would like to directly connect the elphel camera to the computer
instead of going through a switch/hub/router. The power is supplied by
a 3com device and 2 crossover cables connect the camera to power
supply, and power supply to computer ethernet port. I can confirm the
camera functions, the orange light goes on after completing all
hookups. Furthermore the green light flashes periodically at regular
intervals.

The address for the camera is 192.168.1.109 MAC 00:0e:64:08:10:e1
according to 'sudo netdiscover'.

I cannot connect to the camera, when it is hooked up directly to the
computer ethernet port using the addresses:
http://192.168.1.109
http://192.168.1.109/axis.html
ftp://192.168.1.109

Also telnet to the address fails

Attempts at connecting using 192.168.0.09 also fail.

Any resolution to this issue is hugely appreciated. I had hopes that
hooking up to the device would be simple in ubuntu.

Thank you in advance. Background information follows.

Background

The address of my computer on the local router is 192.168.0.105

While connected to my router, which connects me to the internet
command 'route' yields:
Kernel IP routing table

and ifconfig yields

When only hooked up to the camera, 'ifconfig'  yields:
