I'm guessing here after the program downloads, the IFI loader resets the robot controller. It could be that signal isn't reaching the robot, probably similar to having to hold PROG to download code. It's worth trying, and its pretty easy to do. (The other computer only needs IFI Loader and your hex file, nothing else)
