Laptop Connection Questions

I am on a hp laptop running windows 7 with avast disabled. When I turn on my EZB it says that it has successfully connected to my network and when i try to connect to my EZB in client mode it connects and then disconnects after a few seconds, I then get this message:

EZB 0: EZB 1: EZB 2: EZB 3: EZB 4: Attempting connection on 192.168.1.1:23 Connection Failed: System.TimeoutException: The operation has timed out. at EZ_B.EZB.Connect(String hostname, Int32 baudRate) Disconnected Attempting connection on 192.168.1.5:23 Comm Err: System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size, SocketFlags socketFlags) at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) at System.IO.Stream.ReadByte() at EZ_B.EZB.drdP31fe7H(Int32 , Byte[] cmdData) BbytesToExpect: 1 U Received: Disconnected Connection Failed: System.Exception: Controller Not Responding at EZ_B.EZB.g0KPD37NHh() at EZ_B.EZB.Connect(String hostname, Int32 baudRate) Disconnected

The EZB can connect when I try it on my dad's computer.

Any help would be great.

Now try and connect to it like it was your home network... then open ARC and use 192.168.1.1

He stated it was an HP laptop correct? Don't HP laptops have a wifi antenna incompatibility problem on some? Or has it been ruled out that this isn't the problem?

Techno, Yes, you are correct. Since he said he was in client mode, my answers were related to that, and the HP issue doesn't apply to client mode. Since he is in AP mode and he can't see the network, it probably does apply.

I have got the EZ-B to work on a Dell computer and an Acer laptop in both AP and client mode with no issue if that helps.

but still no luck with the HP.

The diagnostic report you sw t will identify if it is the known HP issue, but based on your symptoms, I am sure it is. Only solutions are either put the EZ-B in client mode on your network from a computer that does work, or get a wifi dongle for the HP to use instead of the built in wifi.

That's what I thought!:D Bad luck though, cause now he's got to find a work around.
