I launched the esys's connection and every time connection established successfully but not sure why ZGW_search.exe not able to dig out the vin number.
Adding a DHCP server to the laptop should make the connection to the car come up a little faster as I believe the car does try to get an IP from DHCP.

Beware through that if you plug the laptop with the DHCP server enabled into a normal network with other machines on it, you risk creating havoc by having 2 conflicting DHCP servers on the same sub-net.
