I have always connected to my ethernet click PLC using a PC which has an ethernet port with no problem. Recently I have tried to connect using a PC that does not have an ethernet port so I'm going through a USB to ethernet adaptor. When I attempt to connect to the PLC I can see the PLC name, IP address and run status normally but when attempting to connect it gives error code PTC-001 cannot access the comm port on the PLC. I am able to ping the PLC and get a response. My feeling is that its something to do with security settings but I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this and knows a fix for it. Thanks, Nick

I had to make chg oddly enough to public network setting to allow App to work for usb to communicate to CMORE
