Yes, i have tried connecting to the Line 6 servers through both wireless and ethernet connection but the result were still the same.

No, I'm not using any USB hubs to connect my pod to my laptop. I'm connecting them directly from the laptop's own USB ports. I even tried all of them.

Although Line 6 Monkey and Pod Farm 2 was not able to detect my device, fortunately Gearbox detects it just fine. I can see all the presets i've set in my X3 live perfectly on my laptop screen. Anyway, i have also tried experimenting with other laptops i have, which runs Windows XP. I still could not connect to the Line 6 servers for update but was able to get Monkey detecting my device. I have also run a test on other pc i have which runs Windows 7 and they were all showing the same problems as my Windows 7 laptop. The way things are leads me to conclude that its sort of a OS problem here that prevents Monkey from detecting my device.

Another thing i find different between Windows 7 and XP were, on 7 i didn't see any other choice but PodXT alone as the device to connect to line 6 Monkey, whereas on XP, i was given a long choice of line 6 devices to choose from.
