Hi All. I’m trying the following set up: Multirotor with Pixhawk FC connected via 433 MHz radio link to Windows PC running Mission Planner (this is the ‘master’, used for arming checks, mission planning etc), which in turn is connected via Ethernet cable to Mac notebook running QGC (this a ‘slave’ used for visualization purposes during missions).
I followed mainly these instructions: http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/mavproxy-on-windows-7.html , and I think I got close to having the setup working, however neither MP on the Windows PC nor QGC on the Mac are able to actually connect to the Pixhawk and get parameters/data - MP is stuck at ‘Getting Params’, and QGC does not connect; however neither of them gives an evident error message
Following is what Windows command prompt shows:

I’m no expert, and this the first time I use MAVProxy: hope some of you guys can shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance for the support (and patience
