are both (and a possibly involved switch) gigabit and is there any other traffic on this network, also any WiFi in the game?

The master does have airport turned on. I am not sure how I would know if the computers are gigabit, and I am not sure what switch you mean.
Thanks.

either system prfiler (about my mac) or network settings tell you the speed of your NICs (Network Interface Cards).
if you have not connected your macs trough a direct cable there must sit some device between them.
since you mention airport: make sure both networks are not in the same IP address range - system preferences / network should give you the respective numbers.

Both computers show a network speed of 1 Gbit. The two macs are directly connected with an ethernet cable.
The ip address of airport starts with 192.168
The ip address of ethernet starts with 169.254
Is this helpful?

the range 169.254.0.0 is reserved for zero config http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network (assigning IP addresses without a DHCP server)
however, here this IPs get routed into the internet instead of keeping local, so maybe it would be a good idea to assign them manually, eg. 192.168.11.1 and 192.168.11.2 subnetmask 255.255.255.0 given that your airport network ist 192.168.0.x (the third group of numbers must be different!)

Hi Christian,
I have manually assigned ethernet IP's to both laptops, with different third-group numbers, as you suggested. I have also turned airport off to make sure it is not causing any problems. I still get the same results. Even when loading a single instrument (piccolo) on the slave computer, playback does not work properly. There are many droupouts with even a single sustained note. This happens even when playing that note directly from the VE keyboard on the slave computer. If I disconnect the two computers, that same note plays just fine. I don't imagine this is a Leopard/Tiger issue, is it? My master is running Leopard (latest version), and the slave Tiger (also latest version).
Any suggestions?

OK, silly question -- or maybe not -- but since my slave Mac is connected to the master only via ethernet, in order to keep VE Service permanently active whenever I turn on the slave, do I just need to put the VE Service icon into the "StartupItems" folder, and then it'll automatically launch when the slave is turned on? Or is there another or better way to handle that on the slave mac?
My master is a Mac Intel 8-core, and the slave is a dual quad-core G5.

Hi Christian:
I am not sure what else to do at this point. Is my Powerbook just not up to this task? What are your system requirements for VE 3?
Michael
