I have a 2005 Okuma MCV4020 with the Dnc DT100 option. Dnc DT100 is a hard drive and eithernet. I'm trying to set up communications with the machine. I'm using windows xp home edition, and Okuma has instructions for using windows IIS which is not available in xp home. I've got the machine set up on the network and I get a sucessful ping between the pc and the machine, but now I'm stuck. I'd rather not upgrade to xp pro because everything else is working perfectly except the okuma any alternatives to using IIS?

I bit the bullet and upgraded to xp pro. Upgrading wasn't as bad as I thought, all my settings and programs were carried over. I had to configure IIS's default FTP site and that's about it. It's sweet not having to walk back and forth to the machine to send a program and it's much faster than rs-232. If anyone has trouble setting up an Okuma 100E control with the DNC-DT option let me know Oh and I have a copy of an updated manual from Okuma for XP Pro that pretty much walks you through the setup. It was a little confusing trying to use the manual that came with the machine that was written for windows NT. If anyone needs it let me know.
