Cannot Upgrade Firmware Past Ver. 8151 [Solved]

[JamesWilliams]

informach,

Yes, I know it's an ftp address, and I have typed the proper ftp URL, the one you gave. My browser somehow rewrites the address when I type it correctly in these messages (anybody know why it's doing that?). Very annoying. Please ignore the "http:" string in my original note.

At any rate, when I try to go there, I get a "connection timed out" every time. I'm searching through my firewall rules now, and can't find anything that would prevent an ftp connection. I'll keep trying from other OSes and browsers.

But you have not answered my real question: why is the HP Connectivity Kit not updating my firmware correctly? I have Build 2016 4 14 Rev. 10077 of the Connectivity Kit. When I click on "Update Calculator," it simply reinstalls firmware 8151 every time.

=====================
Test for myself:
typing in ((ftp) // ftp.(only one time)hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime
http://ftp.ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime

========= end test =====
