Sometimes, the problem is that your pc is not in the same range of IP that your PLC.
Check first this in Control Panel in your PC. For example, if your PLC has the IP: 192.168.1.20 your PC must be in same range, 192.168.1.xx

The problem could be in DNS-server that conflicts with your pre-installed IP of PLC.
