Greetings all. I am currently using two Eiki LC-XL100 projectors for a show I'm working on. I have both of these projectors connected via network cable to a switch. I have both projectors set to static IP addresses. The control computer is a fairly robust Dell running Windows 7, and I'm using Internet Explorer to connect to the projectors via their IP addresses. The control computer is also connected via the switch.
The trouble I am experiencing is that the communication between the computer and projector is erratic, never providing consistent results. Sometimes I can hit the link and get the proper control menu immediately. Other times, I have to refresh it over and over. This problem results equally between both projectors, and results whether I am using a regular network cable for the control computer, or a crossover cable. I have not made any modifications to the control computer's network settings. Given that I need to be able to open and close the built-in shutters for the projectors within a close time frame, having stable network control is important.
Is there a network setting somewhere that I need to change to permit more stable connections? Or is there something more general to this network puzzle that I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
