Flex with bridged ethernet

Michael N3LI

Background: Radio Flex 6600, and Local network is via AT&T wireless 5G Doesn't connect via the normal method - Apparently there are some issues connecting the Flex.

Computer is a recent vintage Lenovo Yoga, Windows 11

Flex works FB directly connected.

I tried the method of bridging as posted by Tim. Wireless internet, wired ethernet, and bridged It was mostly okay, except that roughly every 25 seconds the radio loses connection, then quickly reconnects.

Anyone have a similar situation?

    Update - after my Lenovo did a bios update, the system is working now. The radio itself is attached to an outboard ethernet port, and the computer is accessing the internet via wireless. I've connected WXJT-X and fldigi to the radio. I'll try some other programs. I believe I'll have to use external program spotting. I'll try downloading the new SmartSDR software update next. But it looks like a workable Kludge at this point.

    I'll try the process out on my Mac mini next

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
