Problem using emulator with connectivity kit (Solved) - Geoff - 04-28-2018 09:21 PM
I got my Prime about a month ago, and have been having great fun learning to program it. It's quite a switch from my 48SX. I can't tell you how much I've also learned by reading these forums. However I'm now having a problem that I can't find on the forum.
For the first couple of weeks I could open the emulator and it would also appear in the connectivity kit. This was great as the emulator runs much faster, so I could test my program more quickly. The hardware Prime continues to work with the connectivity kit perfectly.
Then a couple of weeks ago this suddenly stopped working. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the connectivity kit and the emulator. I checked that both are version 1.40.13441.0, which is the most current I can find. I guess I should also mention I'm running Windows 10 64-bit.
Any thoughts on how I can get the emulator talking to the connectivity kit again?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try fiddling with the Prime emulator clock/wifi connection menu - see point #2 in my recent wishlist post.

Tried what you suggest in point 2, but it's not working for me after numerous attempts. Windows vs. Mac difference? I only see "No networks available" on page 4 of the Home Settings, on both the emulator and my Prime.

Also ensure you are connected to wifi. When I was on holiday and offline recently, my Prime to Connectivity Kit connection wasn't working on my laptop. Then I connected my laptop to my iPhone hotspot to check my email etc, and immediately the Prime emulator appeared in the HP Connectivity Kit panel.
Its a long shot, since everybody is on the internet most times, but I thought I'd mention it.

Since no one else is jumping in I assume my problem is something unique that I've messed up, and can hopefully fix.
My computer is a desktop, and thus permanently cabled to my router. Wi-Fi is on, but only to transfer stuff to my tablet and phone.
I checked the emulator and "IP Networking" was turned on in Preferences. This got me thinking, so I checked the Connectivity Kit and IP Networking was not turned on. Change that and the emulator reappeared.
Don't remember altering that setting, but I do have a bad habit of fiddling too much. Just glad to have the connection back. Posting my solution here so it's available for others.
Thanks tcab for your help and ideas!!
