I don't know what to say. I've tried the 1.8.1 download on Windows and Mac using the available download and install instructions, and accessing a Modbus TCP slave, and it works perfectly. If this continues to be a problem for you i can only suggest you wait for the 1.8.2 release, forthcoming once some details with a collaborator are worked out, hopefully in a matter of weeks.
