I deleted my previous post. Might have hold the connector the wrong way when measureing, haha.

But anyways, here's the one I bought.

That is correct cable, and I have yet to see a bad one from OneStopElectronics.

While I'm waiting for e-sys to install on the other computer, I'll think I'll check the Diagnostic Port fuse.. If there is a fuse for that one? remember I had an fuse for that in my old E46.

Yes, it should be fused.

OBD had fuses 18, 28 and 42 (Fuse Box in engine bay. In case someone was wondering). All good.

EDIT:

I have now tryed with another computer with a fresh install of E-sys. And the problem still remains. Nothing happens on computer when plugged to car, and no link light in the RJ45 port on the computer.. Do I need to set{configure a new wired connection? Any good guides to troubleshoot the OBD port in the car? Fuses was good. Find it hard to belive that the OBD port is bad...

Could It be power issues? I have my car running while trying to make a connection, It reads 14,3 at the battery posts. So it should be enough.

Is battery charger a better way to go? Don't have one, so haven't been able to try.

There is only one obd port in our cars, right? (drivers side foot well)

No. Motor running is all you need.

And yes, only the one OBD Port.

The problem has to be the cable or the OBD port itself.. Do you or anyone else know how I can test the OBD port?

I have no idea on that.

Is your LAN Adapter taking a 169.254.xxx.xxx IP Address when connected?

Some firewalls or antivirus is still on?
Is it the wireless connection set to off?
Try to use (from command prompt) ipconfig, and check what ip address is setup from the lan adapter, as showed by shawn it has to begin with a local area network ip range family.

Hi Shawn,

Could you please send me a PM with all the info I need to start coding F11 2011?

I have the cable, but prettymuch everything else I will need..

Thanks a lot for all the great work you've done on this!

While connected to the car? I get nothing. The computer(s) doesn't detect any connection with the cable (No link light where the RJ45 goes into the computer

Yes, firewall is disabled, and the computer doesn't have any anti-virus.

Can you successfully connect your laptop to a normal network via the Ethernet port?

Basically, are you sure the Ethernet port (RJ45) on the laptop is working?

Yes, I can connect to a normal network. Pretty frustrating :s

I do not ask abut the Light. I want to know if you actually checked the LAN Adapter Status to see if it has an IPv4 Address assigned.

I've checked the lan adapter (command prompt -> ipconfig) and there's no ip adresses.

I don't know. You need to start swapping out Laptop and Cable to narrow down where the issue is. No other way at this point.

Did some measuring of the cable again. All is good (ohmed pins on OBD connector and RJ45) except pin 4 and 5 that should be bridged according to the ENET Cable DIY. I get nothing when I ohm pin 4 and 5 on the OBD connector.

I don't really suspect cable. I have never seen a bad one from OneStopElectronics.

I think there is an issue with that laptop and it's Network Settings.

But my problem is the same with my other laptop too (Have tryed two different laptops) One is running windows 7 and the other one is running windows 8. IPv4 is set to dynamic on both of them. And both have no issues connecting to a normal wired network.

You can have LAN Adapter working on network with a DHCP Server, but not for Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) or DHCP Fallback, which is what is required here. So, connection to wired network, while useful to know that the LAN Card is good, it does not rule out a Windows APIPA Networking issue. That said, two laptops with an APIPA issue though is a bit suspicious, unless they are both running some sort of software blocking the IP Port.

But, if it is not the Laptop, and not cable, only thing left is FEM_GW in the car. So, what you really need is another F-Series car to connect to, and see at least if problem is on car side, or cable / laptop side.
