Trouble connecting to Denford Pro 1000 with VR Milling 2.32

Hi there,
Tech Ed teacher in Richmond, Virginia. I inherited a Pro 1000 from my predecessor and have struggled over the past few years to get it up and running. I have a buddy at a sister school who has gone above and beyond to get me up to speed, I feel like as soon as my machines talk to each other, I'll be in business. When I borrow his laptop and connect to my mill, it runs just fine but when I connect my laptop to the machine, they won't talk to each other (exact same machine with same image from my district so very confusing!) Have tried three different laptops that I have daily access to and three different cables to connect them to the Mill. (Used the same cables with my buddy's laptop as I used with mine so all the connections should be okay. Here's the error message I'm getting. Hoping it's just a setting I need to enable on my machine. Another buddy with a machine recommended I post here and said the community might have the answer I need. My tech guy has been amazing and super patient but we're both hoping to find a solution soon!
Thanks in advance!
Nate
