Cannot SSH to Lan Turtle (tried OSX/WIN10)

[aristos]

Hi,

I purchased the lan turtle this May from Edutech Hakshop, and was on the side until some days ago when I decided to play with it.

Unfortunately I discovered that I cannot SSH to it, with or without the LAN cable on the other side.

I tried both my Macbook and in WIN10 through a Virtual Box machine but no luck, even though I can see the Realtek USB device in Virtual Box.

I would like to ask if this needs to be replaced, or you suggest me to try a "Factory Reset" first?

Thanks

The turtle did have issues with load drivers for certain versions of OSX. Can you post the following extra info:

What version of OSX you are running.

Example output from ifconfig / ipconfig / whatever OSX uses and an indication which adapter is the turtle.

Can you ping the turtle?

Have you tried plugging in the turtle via the ethernet cable to the laptop you are trying to access it from?

Which interface is the lan turtle? It looks like you need to actual give the turtle's interface an IP address.

[phpsystems]

Once you know which interface is the Lan Turtle (if in doubt, unplug it, run ifconfig as above, replug and run ifconfig again, new interface is the Turtle) run dhclient (or Mac Equivalent) on the interface. Failing that, give it a static IP of 172.16.84.5 (netmask 255.255.255.0) and try again.

And by the way, you might want to look at:

 

 

[aristos]

Unfortunately ifconfig returns the same list with or without the lan turtle plugged in.

Yes I have read this post some days ago but the solution was:

"I wanted to say that the solution to this was just getting a replacement LANturtle. Now, everything is working great."

[phpsystems]

Actually, the other solution in that post stream is to install the Realtek drivers, as they aren't part of El Capitan. This is why the turtle doesn't show up.

[aristos]

Ok I tried that. Seems that works now. Thanks a lot.

[aristos]

But now, every time I insert Lan Turtle in the USB port, my MacBook restarts :(

 

Any ideas?
