Check your cable.,

Do you have connections to pins 6, 8 and 20.

Take a look at

DNC Setup and Cable Diagrams

for proper cable diagram.

Look at the connections to pins 6, 8 and 20. Normal shop bought RS232 cables don't have those connections so your CNC will likely throw an alarm. Best thing is to make your own cable

The original poster said he's using "Port Scan". This is an automatic mode so the user does not need to check the speed - easyDnc should detect the speed automatically.

I agree with support - error 086 is probably caused by missing connections 6,8,20 in the cnc end of the cable. The kind of cable you get from RS doesn't have those connections - make the cable yourself.
