When I put the dongle in my main computer and load the VE3 Service app, I can use VE3 on the local host, but no joy on the network slave. Anybody seen this before? Am I missing something obvious? - as I say, it was working yesterday.

Thanks Maya & Tim - after a few hours and several restarts, I eventually got it to 'find' the slave again, but will keep that trick up my sleeve if it happens again! Best,
David
david, this is an issue related to multihomed computers (= such with more than 1 network interface) - though VE3 on the SLAVE should annunce itself on all networks the MASTER does not always listen to all. there is a thing called *order of binding* and you can notice a similar effect with filesharing to more than one network.
having fixed IPs on your audio network and connecting to such a known IP works always (as long as the connection itself works)
an important part to check is to have no multiple gateways on a single computer (on a mac labeled router) - only the network intended to be used for internet connections should have the appropriate gateway set, it tells the computer where the *door* to the *wide world* is

Hi Christian,
So this happened again and I did as Maya and TIm recommended and entered the IP address manually and it worked! However, I'd really like to stop this happening as it means everything takes a bit longer to get going on the music - especially as I seem to have to do this with every project I load up.
But I'm afraid I don't understand your advice on how to fix this (I don't know much about networking). I don't have a router - I just have an ethernet cable running between my G5 and my Mac Pro, but there are other machines (laptops) on the wireless network. Can you explain a bit more what you mean about gateways and so on (feel free to email me instead). Many thanks,
David
this is a question of *order of bindings* and there is no easy way to change this order - especially if you are not familiar with networking i wouldn't touch anything ... a macPro has 2 network interfaces and i can't tell which is the first and which the second ... if the other one is not in use you could try to disable it.

David - this shouldn't happen at all as saved projects note down the IP address or Machine Name and you shouldn't need to reconnect with every saved project. New projects yes this could be expected unless you use a template (which in itself would already store the IP address for the connection).@dschweitzer said:

Hey that's really helpful Tim. I got it all working now with fixed IPs... I thought those IP numbers were rocket science, but I just copied yours and it seems to work!
Thanks,
David
welcome owain,
you share files probably using afp-filesharing or something else ... but your TCP/IP configuration is definitely not working ....
both IP addresses are from a different class B network (since you choose mask 255.255.0.0 this will not work) and are from the auto-configure range ...
i'd recommend to use class C networks instead with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 and IP address range withing 192.168.x.y
where x and y are between 1 and 254, on both computers x needs to be the same, y to be different
attention: if a single computer has more than one network interface 2 of them MUST NOT reside in the same class C network and only one gateway must exist (to the internet) ... don't forget wireless adapters ...
hth, christian
