I have read the article Q3173 but there is no hardware conflict in my PC, what is the cause of the problem?

 

Solution:
If you have turned on tcpip debugging then you will notice the following error on start up;

ERROR winsock reported Unknown winsock error # 10106

for your port. The problem is a filename conflict. You must rename the file, ICMP.DLL in the Citect\Bin folder (for example rename the file to CTICMP.DLL).

Your ethernet connected devices should now communicate correctly.
