Have you tried using a straight-through cable? Have you tried going through a router? Do you have other computers with windows 7 that have this issue or is it just the one?

I had an issue that was exactly like this, I had the DS on a computer with Vista Business SP1 that connected just fine the the bot and always had comms but my personal laptop with 7 Pro x64 wouldn't show the robot as having comms or code. I don't know what caused it but I worked around it by reinstalling windows, labview, and the DS.
