connecting with socket://localhost:23 port doesnt work in the Windows build

[humneraudio]

I've been running bCNC from Linux for a while using socket://192.168.60.200:23

192.168.60.200 being the IP address of my controller. It runs great with this setup.

I've since moved to a Windows system, but using the same socket connection doesn't work. I end up with this error.

I can ping 192.168.60.200 fine from the Windows PC

I'm using this build in particular - bCNC-0.9.14.52-beta-git-exe.zip - from here https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC/releases/tag/0.9.14.52.beta.exe

I suspect its due to missing dependencies that make the socket port function, but I'm not sure where to begin to try and solve it.

turns out it works fine in the latest bCNC.

I did try the latest bCNC, but I didn't work so I reverted to the exe build. I since found this - #1910 - and after installing python 3.9 instead, It launches and it appears socket port is working OK now

exe build is no longer maintained i think. it's very old
