Re: [Help] Can ping, but DS says "No Robot Communication" only W7, ok from XP

Joe Ross: hadn't thought of that. Running AVG Free 2013; disabled it, no joy.

gnunes: only one ethernet port. double checked, wireless is disabled, wired enabled on correct port, ping and FTP work.

So still in same place: Communications lights on diagnostics panel shows "Robot" with a green light, I can ping and ftp the robot, but DS stills says "No Robot Communications". If I put a bad team number into the DS, then the "Robot"light goes red (as it should), and if I have the correct team number in the DS, but disconnect the cable, the "Robot" light goes red (as it should). I definitely have TCP/IP connectivity between the W7 box and the robot (green Robot light on diagnostics panel, ftp and ping work).

Who knows the difference between the green Robot light and the "Communications" light?"

I'm about to give up and start over with the 2013 DS in a little over 2 weeks; maybe the problem will go away then (or FIRST will be able to tell me how to get more troubleshooting information).....
