I've had similiar issues myself.? Recently, while working on a project with a CP4N, (everything on control subnet) using system info to connect to a processor to load code was extremely slow.? In addition, I also noticed similiar issues with debugger.? If you wait long enough, it'll eventually connect.? Alternatively, try exiting toolbox and killing the vtp com server in your task list and restarting toolbox.? As for loading code via toolbox, I've noticed that to be hit or miss as well.? On that particular project, I've had better luck using the web GUI of the processor to load code instead.? The web GUI seems to be much more responsive.
