Description:
PROFINET DCP – Direct Connection indicates that no valid Ethernet adapters are available for PROFINET DCP discovery (must run PME as Administrator to use this feature)
Resolution:
Beginning with PME 8.60, the PROFINET DCP tool requires elevation to administrator privilege to run when it is launched by right-clicking on a PNC001. Since the PME installation does not setup PME or any of its internal tools to run at the administrator privilege level, you will have to inform Windows that you want it to run PME as an administrator.
1. Right click on the PME icon (and any other shortcuts associated with PME) and select properties. Then select the Compatibility tab and check the checkbox for Run this program as an administrator.
2. Reboot the machine and then launch Machine Edition and use the DCP tool and verify you are now able to select your PC network adapter(s).
3. If the above does not resolve the issue, then run the following batch file found here, PROFINET DCP Installation Fix
