Okay, so I'm new and have a new CE5000-60. I got it all working right when USB connected to my PC. I think I heard that US Cutter used a network based USB hub sharing device successfully, so I thought I'd try it too. I bought a Belkin "Home Base" 4-port USB hub that connects to a network via ethernet or wireless, and the thing works great for a USB hard drive.
Every time I try to us my CE5000-60, CM2 displays "Cannot Open Port". I called Belikn's India-based support (and spent what seemed like an eternity), and they told me a couple of different things:
1) It's a firewall issue, or
2) Its a Graphtec issue
The Plotter works great whenever it is directly connected to my PC, so I have a hard time believing it is a Graphtec issue. We turned of the Windows firewall on the PC, and the Hub is on the same network segment as teh PC, so I don't see what other "firewall" issues could exist...
Does anyone have any suggestionsexperienceadvice on what to do? Any other network-connected USB hubs out there that actually work (especially with the Graphtec?
Many Thanks!
