We installed the sensor app from here:
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC3000_Wi-Fi_Downloads
Flashed and used the "terminal program" over the MSP430 (USB) UART and was connected (even to my Belkin router) instantly.
We could then ping from another PC/EVM to the CC3000 (terminal app does not have ping but useful for status). Never tried the GUI app.
