Appreciate this is relatively old post, but I have exactly the same issue. NDT 2.04, Win11 Pro. Loads up ok, but there is no network connection showing to select. I have ESET smart security and turn off all blocking and firewall. I can access switches using web address, and Prosafe Plus utility loads up fine (it was problematic on some Win 10 machines) and it finds (most) switches. However, I like the NDT interface and function so prefer to use that. To be clear - this issue is not that it can't find the switches - it is that it appears not to be detecting the Network cards (Wifi or Ethernet), so never gets to the scan.
