lor listener error 3

[kiwixmas]

I am using 3.12 software and gettting error  on listener  as shown below 

dmx listener error 3 :windsock error /10053, connection is aborted due to time out or other failure  ??

 

had the same error reading december last year but  protocol in lor preferences is all ok  //

any help would be welcome ??

I see on some post they say firewall could be blocking signal 

I am using a antidongle  on com 4 port for dmx  and a usb4858  on port 3 for lor 

thanks

Not sure if it will help, but when I was using  3.12 the first year was fine then I started getting errors on everything plus I was getting the Chinese characters problems too. I upgraded to a newer version and my problems went away. Also I found that when I just hit restart on my computer it would not completely shutdown. I had to shutdown completely for things to update. Again, not sure if these things would help you.

Hello

I probably have the same problem. I have made an update to the 5.1.2 Pro for my software. Now the controllers are no longer recognized.
Error message: Comm Listener error 3: Comm Winsock Error / 10053: Connection is aborted due to timeout or other failure.
I connect the controllers to my laptop (software version 4.3.14) because they work.
I can not keep it up ...
I'm grateful for every tip.

mucked about all day yesterday  and no further ahead in getting lights working!!!

thanks for the replies

 what i have done so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   1  /  updates drivers for both dongles  ( lor 485b and antidongle  for all dmx units )

 2  /   not into pixies  as all my lights are animations  so decided to go back to  4.3 and  there is no problem with( error message gone)

 3  /  now lights on dmx unit the  green flashing light ( means receiving signal )  doesnt aways fire up  when power is turn on  for dmx units ( i have reset all  dmx units )

 4   /  Also  when  green light is receiving signal, if you power up a show  nothing happens green light dosent turn solid on  ( led  light on each channel in dmx board doesnt come on  ) but  in lor log screen says  show is working ??

The status light flashing means that it is NOT receiving data.  The Comm Listener (which is what is sending data from your computer) sends a heartbeat in addition to the data being sent.  Even if there is no data, the heartbeat is sent.  That tells the controllers that there is something there and turns the status light from flashing to on solid.  Within your computer, there are several ways to get the heartbeat to send.  The easiest way for testing is to start the Hardware utility and select the comm port for the network being tested.  The other is to start the LOR Control Panel, which in turn starts the Comm Listener.  That will send heartbeat on all your networks (if you have more than one).  Until you can get the status LED on solid with either the Comm Listener or the Hardware Utility, you are NOT going to be able to control the lights.

The status are flashing green because they are NOT receiving data.  See above.
