my wiz750sr-ttl module wont connect when i use a different computer

Question

i was able to connect to the wiz750sr-ttl on one computer (someone who was using this computer previously had already downloaded the software on it so i didnt set it up) but when i tried to connect it to another computer i wasnt able to find the module. the first computer was windows and the second is linux. i downloaded the source code for the configuration tool onto the linux computer and still wasnt able to find the module. i was wondering if there is something else that needs to be downloaded for the module to be found? or if theres something that needs to be done in order to make it work?

I am using the python socket library to connect to the ethernet module. is there a format that the IP addresses need to be in for them to be able to talk to each other? i am curious as to what information would be gained from knowing the IP addresses?

does it being matched in the same band mean that they are both TCP/IPv4? and do you by chance know how to do the same process but with linux?

im quite new with this whole thing so forgive my amateurish question, but how do you know if a IP is matched in the same band that i could look for?
