When I open Kipling it finds my device through Ethernet it tells me "Ethernet connection type was found but failed varifacation". If I go unplug the unit and wait a couple seconds plug it back in then try to connect it does, but if I disconnect wait a little while and try to reconnect it gives me the same message. Any suggestion?
