ESP8266 Module Won't Connect to Network

[ghost]

I followed the hookup guide here for the module: https://www.instructables.com/id/Add-WiFi-to-Arduino-UNO/

I changed ESP8266sendMessage example sketch with my network name, password, ip, and ports. When I upload it, in the serial monitor all I see is:

Connecting to (networkName)
............................. (ect)

Not sure what else to do to get it to work.

I would need more context to help. A lot of people get stuck and eventually find that their firewall is in the way…

Firewall is disabled, and I double checked to be sure.
What more do you need?

Have you run other communication sketches to test your setup which don’t involve the OSC library, e.g. a basic ping test?

I started having other issues and ended up completely uninstalling and re-installing the Arduino IDE. At some point during the process of trying to fix other problems, this example now works with my Feather. But for my project I want to use the generic module connected to an arduino and I'm having problems uploading any code to it now. But that's a separate issue.
