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.

The EZ-B makes a jingle sound,it isn't the same as the sound it makes when it starts up if that's what you mean it also says that it has successfully connected to my network,it has always done this. i will run a full virus scan just in case it is a virus.

i ran Malwarebyte and all it found was an ask.com toolbar which i have removed, i have also uninstalled Avast but still not working.

I wasn't aware of the HP fix either. Good to know it's been resolved.

So you did have antivirus running. Are you sure you were able to completely uninstall it? If not it still may be causing problems. I've read that lots of people are having problems uninstalling Avast. Here's a link to a short discussion about Avast and some problems uninstalling it. It has links to a Avast uninstall tool and directions on how to properly get rid of Avast. Sounds like the best way to do it is by placing Windows into Safe Mode when running this tool:

This is the strangest incident - we have never experienced such a challenging connection issue before. I'm leaning toward creating a "connection diagnostic" program for you, specifically - that will return advanced details about the connection. It will take some time, so hold tight.

As for what else you can try - i think the next step is to re-install .Net 4.5.2 framework. Try this:https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=42643

Perhaps the situation is caused by a corrupt .Net this whole time - and might easily be resolved with a simple re-install. At this stage, diagnosing the issue is challenging because we have identified that it's not caused by a faulty robot controller. The controller connects on your other computers, which leads me to believe it's a configuration issue of that laptop.

We won't give up until you're rock'n!

I have reinstalled .Net 4.5.2 , but it has made no difference, i think that it may be down to the computer model just not working with the EZ-B.

While connected to the EZ-B's network, open a command prompt and type ipconfig /all > ipconfig.txt then upload the ipconfig.txt file created here. I want to get a good look at your network configuration.

I have a suspicion about what is happening.
