Network error 10013 when trying to ping console

Question

Trying to connect nomad to a console on my network as a client. I wasn't getting any response so I went into the shell to see if I could ping out of there to the console. Got an error right off the bat saying "could not create socket" error 10013. 
 Same issue if i do it with the router. I can ping just fine from the computers command prompt, I'm just not getting out through ETC software. Everything that is required to do networked/multiconsole is checked appropriately, console and nomad are same build, all services I'm not using are unchecked... etc. Basically I can't find anything wrong in the setup and I know I have connection because i can ping back and forth on the computer end. Is there any know issues that have these same symptoms? I'll try and attach a show file the second I can but mid show load in, was hoping to get some mild answers that will help me solve the issue.

Hi Cameron,

I'm sort of guessing from your error that you are running Nomad on a Windows machine?
Most likely you are being stopped by your computers firewall or some other anti virus / network protection software.

Check your firewall settings on the computer to see if you are allowing access to the Nomad software. If you are running windows Defender, you may need to add an exception there as well.

Basically the Socket error is the computers way of saying "i'm trying to create this connection, but something is preventing me from doing it.

Check all that and let us know if you still have problems.
