Environment

Venus 1500 v4.18 and greater
Daktronics Fusion Server
Computer LAN Adapter (NIC)

Cause

The computer LAN adapter (NIC) is configured to have duplicate or two IP addresses. For example (172.16.192.20 and 172.16.192.25).

How to confirm if a Duplicate issue from COMMAND PROMPT:

Go to Windows Start Menu.

Windows XP - Click Run, type CMD and click Ok.
Windows Vista, 7 - In Search Programs and Files type CMD, right-click CMD and choose Run as Administrator.
Windows 8 - From customers computer keyboard, hold down Windows Key then press letter "R" to bring up the Run command, Type CMD, then press Enter on keyboard

In Command Prompt, type Ipconfig /all and hit [Enter].
In the IP Configurations, look for a Network adapter that lists both a Preferred and a Duplicate IP Address.

Resolution

Edit the adapter IP address settings (How to set a static IP on my computer's NIC or USB to Ethernet adaptor, DD2016625)

Be sure that the IP address entered in the LAN adapter is not a duplicate of another IP address on the same network (including the same IP as the sign's IP address)

NOTE: If using a D-Link USB to Ethernet adapter, reference (Daktronics Fusion Service starts and then stops again and receive error 'You must call the Bind method before performing this operation.' in the Event Viewer, DD2558849)
