    I am slaving two PC to my DAW, DAW and one slave running on Windows 7 and the other slave rumming XP; everthing works fine until recently when I open a song file, my W7 slave was not recognized and the song loads two instances of VEP on my host PC. I checked on the VST instruments ( I am using Cubase 5.5 ) and could not find the W7 slave. More curiously, I don't see the XP slave either but it was actually connected and loaded all the instruments. What could be the cause? Thanks!

     Are you using fixed IP?

    I guess so. I am using a router, my ISP provider gives me a floating IP but for within the intranet I believe all IPs are fixed. Does it make a difference? Thanks.

     IP is only fixed it you have set it manually.

    Hi I'm having the same problem with Logic! It was showing my slaves but now they wont show up at all. But strangely my session still loads. I can still work with that session but am no longer able enable new connections to VEP because the slaves no longer show up. I click connect and nothing happens. Same thing if I load a new project. This is the strangest issue, I can't figure it out at all. Is this somehow related to a fixed ip? Why would it be working before and now all the sudden it wont. I'm in the middle of a huge gig and this is the last thing I need. Everything was working perfectly. PLEASE HELP! - I promise to buy a download instrument if someone on the VSL team can help me figure this out asap! - lol Here are my specs Logic 9.1.3 (32bit) - iMac 2.93 Ghz Intel Core i7 - 8GB RAM - OS X 10.6.5 - Mbox 3 Mini (3rd Gen) USB - G Raid Mini Firewire 800 for audio - Vienna Ensemble PRO build 7384 - Kontakt 4 / Spectrosonics / EW PLAY v2.0.25 - Altiverb 6.3.5

    No response from VSL people? I think this problem is not caused by fixes IP. I suceeded in loading a few times by 1. Starting all VEP on slave machines first, do not start VEP on master PC. 2. Start DAW programme, then I can spot all VEP on slave machines 3. Loading all VSTis on slave machine, then start VEP on master PC 4. Now I spot the VEP on master PC and I load the rest of the VSTi. Well this used to work for the past few days but today I DON"T SEE ANY VEP ON ANY OF MY MACHINE, WHY VSL WHY?????? Jsut a few minutes ago, after rebboting many times, the VEP works again. And the strange thing is, if I open a new song ( Cubase ) I can see all the VEPs there, so maybe I was using too many VSTis in one project? I really don't know. What I do know is that I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of VEP. Update screw ups?

    I am having the same problem in Logic 9. I can see one of my slave computers but another one that I just set up does not show up as a slave. Could it be a network or router issue if I can see one but not the other? Ive double checked the network settings on both computers and they seem to be both the same. Any Ideas?

    It's got nothing to do with Fixed Dynamic IP. I am using Cubase 5.5. Besides using VEP I alsi loaded VSTis in my DAW. I found out that by disbling some of my VSTis ( in this particular project the Kong Audio VSTis , the VEP slaves appear again. So now I bounced all the Kong Audio VSTis and everything is normal again. So my best guess is, some VSTis are causing the problem with VEP.
