Re: [FTC]: Communication help needed
From your description, it sounds like you are trying to connect via Bluetooth?

We have seen a lot of difference in BT connectivity. Some laptops will connect correctly, some won't. We tend to use external blue tooth dongles that we know work.

However, if you are connecting directly to the NXT with a cable, and are still losing connection, double-check the connector on the NXT. If you plug in via blue-tooth, it is subject to lateral stresses and can snap off. You can still talk to the NXT sometimes, either with a cable or via Samantha, but it will disconnect when teh NXT is jostled. If that was the scenario, BT connectivity would be unaffected.

Can you try a different NXT?
