Hello Carl,
Since all the configuration had changed already, it seems really hard to point
a culprit now.

About the dongle, seems more probably that the cable or the dongle are the
cause of the problem than any SW configuration. I recommend to try a different
cable and dongle to see if the problem is caused for those ones. If the problem
is not present anymore, please change the status to RESOLVED.
Thank you.</pre>
