    Can someone tell what is this message(alarm)

    I get this message when opening pathpilot. Could somebody tell me how to fix this,

    I tried so hard to have my programming computer to connect with pathpilot than I must have modified something important.

    Both computers are on the same Wi-Fi, pathpilot computer can go on the web, and it is connected. Internet led is green on the status page.

    I have shared folders on my computer but no luck so far..........

    It kind of says in the error message what you need to do...
    The file dmrc in the user's home directory has the wrong permissions.
    What you need to do, is get to a command line (can't remember how to do that, but search this forum), cd to /home/operator (I think that is the correct user) and do chmod 644 dmrc

    Are there some more alarms popping up if you just click on "OK" ?

    No, I click OK and pathpilot start normally. My problem is I know nothing about linux. I try for quite some time to send my program to the lathe controller in the GCODE folder, but I can't.

    I can see the other computers on the network, but not the pathpilot controller. They all share the same SSID.

    Seems samba (the service which lets Linux PCs show up in Windows network) isn't set up or running. Should be in the user manual how to set it up. I'm not near my machine, or even at home, so I can't check out how to do it.

    sometimes it is easier to set up the FAT32 formatted partition on Windows PC and share it on the network for Linux. Windows advices and docomentation are much more better than Linux jungle.

    I'm waiting to receive an Ethernet switch and connect everything with Ethernet cable.

    Watched every video on this subject and every time it looks so easy.

    I was on Pathpilot this night and tried a ping to my IP4 address on one of my computer, and it can send and receive the data.

    Tormach PC or a home-brew? The Tormachs have been set up to expose network shares easily in my experience.

    All else fails in Windows you can put the IP address of PP in the file manager like so \\192.168.1.234 and see what it does
    .

    The controller is from Tormach. It is at least 5 or 6 years old.

    From the terminal on Tormach controller, if I ping my programming computer, I can see it. It also works from my programming computer to the Tormach controller. I've installed an Ethernet switch and every computer is now connected with Cat6 cable.

    FAT32 is accessible from Linux by default. To access NTFS you my need some special setup at Linux side.

    What happens when you try to open a file share from Windows using the IP address of the controller?

    FWIW I have been struggling for a few days to access my machine and accessing via ip address worked like a charm.
