How can I fix it?
*Our laptop can connect to the same robot with the same settings.
Have you made sure your DNS/IPV4 settings are right? It has happened at least 20 times in our team where the internet settings would randomly change and cause the robot to not connect.
The DS always works on my computer. However, I don't have an anti-virus (I don't actually even use Windows outside of robotics).
Maybe it is your antivirus. I think our team's Windowputers have Symantec software installed and have no problem with the DS!

If possible, just replace Symantec with Security Essentials, or even better, switch from Symantec firewall to Windows Defender. You'll get the AV of Symantec, but firewall of Microsoft, which is semi-permeable
