I've had Furuno gear on my boat for about six years, working together beautifully.
I have:
MFD12
MFD8
PSU
FA30
DRS4D
HUB101
MAXSea on my PC.
The PC is Windows 10, but was upgraded from 7. All worked well under WIndows 7, all worked well under Windows 10. Windows 10 ate my hard drive, and I did a fresh install with a new disk and reinstalled MaxSea and got it all working beautifully a couple of weeks ago.
The PC is dual homed (two ethernet adapters; technically tri homed since it has Wifi) and I use one of the ethernet ports dedicated to Maxsea and Navnet. It has all worked well. For six years. Nothing has changed, no DIP switches throw inside, etc. etc.
Today, I turned things on, and the HUB101 is showing "Network Cable Unplugged", and Maxsea started going through the Connection Wizard when I started it. That hangs up.
The MFD's, AIS, and Radar all work - which means the HUB101 is functioning. When I turn the HUB101 off the MFD's scream about losing their Radar, so that is working properly.
However, the "Link" light on the back of the PC will not turn on, and I can not see the HUB101 network. I tried a different Ethernet cable that works with another hub, I tried both LAN ports on the PC. I tried every open jack on the HUB101. Nothing; no link lights, no love. I even disconnected the AIS which was on a port known to be functional and plugged in the PC - nothing. Everything has been powered off, powered up, etc. etc. and I hard coded the static IP onto my PC's Ethernet port.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm sailing off shore in a few days and would like to have this sorted. I can limp by and sneakernet my courses over to the MFD's, but it's not how I want to head out to sea.
