Is there a simple fix to this, besides doing a complete re-install of the DS and the Cyprus bundle? Or is there something we're not doing right?
We went through this exact situation this weekend. One laptop could talk to the Cypress board fine, the other could not. Reinstalling the DS software (and only that, we didn't mess with anything else) caused it to work. My guess would be a corrupt/stale config file somewhere. It doesn't take too long to reinstall the DS software, probably less time than it would take to fully debug this issue.

Good luck,
Matt
