Has anyone gotten the 3000x or 2000x LAN to work on a direct laptop - scope connection without a network hub? I have made the two different types of cross-over cables but still get LAN failure on the scope. Any tips appreciated. The LAN adapter is new from Agilent. I have disabled the wireless on the laptop but neither laptop or scope see's each other for automatic config. Is manual config needed?

Is manual config needed?
You need to manually configure the LAN settings because you will not have a DHCP server running on either the laptop or the scope.
So set one to 192.168.1.1, the other one to 192.168.1.2 and give them both 255.255.255.0 as netmask. Gateway can be left blank.
After that try both cables again.

After you solve your cable problem, if you're running Linux you'll also need to start netbios NMB services.
There's a bug in MSO v2.35, and possibly other versions, that insists on issuing a netbios name request back to the connecting host. If the host doesn't answer, the scope will sit there and retry 4 times for a nice 8 second delay on any SCPI command.
And who says you'll never know it's running WIN-CE?

If running Win7 make sure you use IP4 not IP6 to configure your PC. I have my 3000x working fine with either cross-over cable.
HOWEVER, when I start my 3000x with my "options" USB stick, the LAN no longer connects even though the scope LAN address and netmask are the same as without the USB stick boot. I get the following error message on my laptop when I try to open a connection to the scope after I boot from USB stick:
---------------
Parse error in script
Microsoft VBScript runtime error: '800a01ad'
Description: ActiveX component can't create object: 'infiniiVisionWebCom.ScopeInfo'

On line: 4
--------------
My 'options' USB stick in the 3000x seems to be running from the USB stick and I assume this is messing up the LAN config. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks to all. After configuring manually all works. John I found this in another thread that may help your problem:

I have the solution for the brocken web Interface when the firmware is startet from usb-stick:
Copy the file "/infiniivision/upgrade/infiniiVisionWebCom.dll" from the USB-stick to "/infiniivision" on the stick.
The Webinterface works fine now.
