Thanks for your comment. Yes that was one of the things I had tried, below is the response:, there must be something amiss in my installation, I just cannot figure out what.

Itā€™s a feature of this forum software, for new users, you usually have to wait for me to wake up and approveā€¦ Eventually it just works.

How are you connected to the internet, Ethernet jack or the usb-ethernet bridge?

Does the Blue have an ethernet jack ?

My guess would be Windows ICS over USB as that seems to cause the most problems.

Yeah, good point, Iā€™ve destroyed so many Blueā€™s i no longer touch themā€¦ They do notā€¦

They have built-in wifi, so thru connman you can bridge your SoftAP->WiFi.

For USB, make sure you are doing the Windows Internet Connection Sharing stuffā€¦

Honestly for the Blue, itā€™s just easier to bridge WiFi

Indeed, the wifi connection solved the problem, now my MVS C++ program is writing ā€œhello worldā€ all day long. Thanks again !!!
