Neha, has the "run as admin" solution worked? This really sounds like a firewall issue to me. In my experience having insufficient privileges (which would be solved with running as Admin), would manifest as a problem with running the Dev Studio executable or its access to local resources, and not in a connection timeout.
Is the Win 7 box on a different wire than the XP box that works? In this case there might be a firewall between the Win 7 box and ARS that's blocking the traffic. Another possibility is that it's the Windows firewall on the Win 7 box itself. You could try turning it off temporarily to see if the problem evaporates. Brief instructions follow: 1) Open "Windows Firewall" in the Control Panel 2) Select the "Turn Windows Firewall on or off" link on the left 3) Select "Turn off Windows Firewall (not recommended)" in both the "Home or work" and "Public" sections A couple more notes... First, it's possible that your network guys have disabled access to this setting, so you may not be able to do it. Also, if you can do it, be sure to undo your changes (i.e. turn it back on again) when your done. If you DO discover it's a firewall issue (Windows firewall or an external box), your network guys should be able to help you poke a hole in it for this traffic. -charlie On Wed, Jan 8, 2014 at 2:04 PM, Jason Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > I wonder if that is organization specific?
