If the DNC software is configured to use 'Blockwise' then also ensure that blockwise is enabled in the CNC (Parameter 5030=1 I think)
If not using blockwise (5030-0) then make sure the DNC software does not have the 'wait' option enabled. Prepare the CNC for receiving data and then go to the DNC computer and hit the Send button

okey thank you we will have a look on Monday how do you get into parameters ? also if i go on the page with baud rate (on the mill) i and lower it its still at 9600.

Baud rate isnt the cause of the problem you described in your first post.
The problem is that the DNC is sat waiting for a Start signal from the CNC and the Start signal doesn't come.
It kind of sounds as if the DNC has blockwise enabled but the CNC doesn't.
First thing to try is to leave the cnc settings as they are.
In the DNC unset the blockwise and set to xonxoff instead.
Get the dnc software ready to send but don't click send yet.
Put the cnc into data receive/read or whatever its called (so its waiting for data)
Go back to the computer and click Send.

What the previous 'guest' suggested would/should work for both drip feeding and loading into cnc memory. Obviously you'll be selecting different options in the CNC but the DNC doesn't care either way.
If you are drip feeding then i'd suggest using blockwise.

Only way we could get ours working was with blockwise enabled.
