Hello,
I decided to go to Google and do a bit of independent research on this topic. You can do the same and double-check me.
In the Google search box, I typed in the words "Error 10053 Connection is aborted due to timeout or other failure" and I got 213 hits.
I sampled several dozen of the sites. I found out that people all over the world, using all sorts of different computers and software applications, have all received this cryptic and unhelpful error message. They have posted pleas for help on bulletin boards just like this one. In most cases, they get a totally unhelpful answer!
Usually, it's a lame generality like, "There's something wrong with your configuration. Re-configure it."
In the several dozen sites I sampled, I didn't find one answer that was conclusive and helpful!
The computer folks on this forum are the best, so we'll see if we can score a FIRST and get you some good information, Kevin!
In the meantime, here is another idea:
You said that your DESKTOP aimbot Belvin1959 is working fine. You said that your LAPTOP aimbot Kendy1959 gets the error message. You said that both computers are hooked to a common hub which goes to your cable modem.
The above information suggests that you could use the process of elimination to compare the settings (and other features) of the two computers, looking for differences relevant to network communications. Since one works, and the other one doesn't, and all else in the system is common, analyze the differences and you might find the cause.
Sincerely,
Don
