Found the problem. Never had this issue with the Stratix switches before. When I unplugged the PLC from the Switch and then re-plugged the PLC back into the switch and network. The rest of the process would no longer communicate. Started to troubleshoot and did the old power cycle to reset ...

The network is not Routed. It is a very small network. One PLC, three Flex IO assemblies, one Servo and a Touch screen. Windows Firewall is disabled and I don't see any other security software that is running. Everything except my laptop is communicating properly on this particular network. ...
