    System & Environment:
    Windows 10 PC
    Xfinity/Comcast Router
    RJ45 cable connected to Arduino Shield (not clone) from NetGear Ethernet Switch

    Command Station: (no Clones)
    Arduino Mega
    Arduino Ethernet Shield v2
    Arduino Motor Shield
    (Stacked in this order) with motor shield on top.

    DCC++ Sketch Selections:
    • Under the Comm.h tab, Comm_Type 2 is selected for ARDUINO-ORG ETHERNET-2 SHIELD (WIZNET 5500)
    • Under the Config.h tab, zero is selected for Shield Type, 1 is selected for COMM_Interface which is the Arduino.cc Ethernet/SD-Card Shield
    • Not sure about the IP address. I know this may need to be changed but I don't know how ping the Shield on my LAN.
    • Ethernet Port is set to 2560.
    • Does the MAC Address mater on a PC.
    Anyway....

    When I try to connect to the Command Station with JMRI, JMRI connects via the Com3 just fine, JMRI cannot find it via the Ethernet Connection.

    Question 1:
    How do I find the IP address of the Ethernet Shield on my LAN?

    Question 2:
    Do I need to configure anything on my router for port forwarding?

    Question 3:
    What am I missing here?

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    David
