Timeout getting device list about androidscreencast HOT 19 OPEN

I am encountering the same issue on Windows XP when attempting to connect with 
my 2.1 
droid.  It seemed to occur after installed the Motoral USB driver.  Before I 
installed 
that driver it would at least bring up the screen that showed the device list.  
I have 
uninstalled the driver but still no luck.

Somehow this problem was resolved for me when I installed the application / 
driver that 
comes with EasyTether.  (EasyTether is also a bad A$$ way to get internet to 
your 
laptop).  

have you tried updating sdk : specially  usb driver package revision 3 ?

Same issue:
Device name : HTC Hero
Device rooted (yes/no) : Yes
Device OS version (1.5/1.6/2.0,...) : 2.1

Computer OS and version (Mac,Win,Linux,...) : Windows 7 x64
Java version (java -version from command line) : 1.6.0_17 (& _20)
ADB version (adb version from command line) : 1.0.25
AndroidScreencast version : 2010.04.07

Also have usb driver package revision 3 - reinstalled driver just to be sure 
and same
output

yeah same here on droid eris, this doesnt seem to work..

My computer OS is Ubuntu 10.04.
I can launch the jnlp file at the first time,but after i restart my computer, i 
just
can not launch it again when attempting to connect with the emulator.
Also the same problem!

Oh,Yeah!!! I had solved the problem!
I use ./adb devices to check the devices status.
I use the command twice and when the attached change from offline to device, the
problem just solved, just as follow picture:

and on windows ? xD

How do you restart the server in windows CMD

In the cmd window u must be in the tools folder for any adb commands to work.
I had the sdk folder on my desktop so i ran cmd then "cd desktop" then "cd 
android-sdk_r06-windows" then "cd android-sdk_r06-windows" then "cd tools"
Now you will be in the tools directory.
Just type "adb usb" this will reset the server and everything works great.

Thank you for the "adb usb" command, that did the trick! 

that did the trick for me too!  Also, rebooting phone works too but I wanted to 
avoid that.  Thanks!

Thanks for your comment. It works with me. :)
Thanks!

thank u very much....worked for me too

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools didn't work for me, it looks like the file was 
moved to \sdk\platform-tools - after switching there the adb command worked and 
i was no longer getting a timeout error.

ADB USB worked fine here too

This worked great for me as well.  Helpful hint.  If you left-shift + 
right-click on the tools folder you can open the command prompt right in that 
folder instead of all the steps to get to it within the command prompt.

Thank you. "adb usb" worked.
