Okay, so placed brand new batteries into them and still am unable to connect.
I've attached a screen shot of my device manager. It runs to 60+ seconds and then just stops. and I try and again and again, to no avail.
It looks like the versioning of the gateway is correct based on the other posts.
I've restarted the gateway, the mcmodules, the PC and the network several times. I'm sure i'm missing something as usual.
