Can't connect to the simulator.
« on: August 04, 2021, 12:11:00 AM »

   What could be wrong that I can't connect to the simulator with domore designer? I have this problem at the at the shop. At home with my laptop it works just fine. But at the shop I keep getting a timeout error. I can ping the IP address on the link Ok. Also tried disabling the firewall still doesn't work. I really not sure what's happening. Does anybody else have an issue similar?

Try running the simulator first, THEN connecting to it.  Some PCs timeout cuz Windows/AntiVirus takes a while loading it for the first time, so the Link's timeouts are a little too "fast".

In the LaunchPad, the Application's pane 2nd entry should be the Do-more Simulator.  Run it, then connect to it.

BTW, the MySim comm link IP address should be 127.0.0.1, which is "local host", i.e. the PC itself.

Update. I deleted domore designer 2.8 and all the previus versions now it seems to be working. Also had to increase the comm timout.
