  3. PC Slave not showing up on master computer sequencer

  • PC Slave not showing up on master computer sequencer

    Master is a Mac Pro running either Cubase or DP7, Slave is a PC.  No problem loading the VE Pro servers on either computer.  I checked the  "Advertise on local networks" on the slave.  I connected my computers via ethernet directly, i.e., not using a router.  I know this works because my Midi Over Lan (MoLCP) works fine.  

    Do I need a router in-between?  Any other advice on why my sequencer doesn't see the slave PC?

    Many thanks for the kind help provided on this forum!

    Did you ever get this working??  I'm trying to do the same thing, wondering if the "self assigned ip" is goofing things up.  It will connect if I manually type in the address, but it does not show in the browser of the instance in DP7.

    yes but it was very complicated.  I had to hire an expert.  I don't recall all of it but this I do:

    1.  added an additional gigabit network card to the PC

    2.  avoided a router by using a turn-around ethernet cable

    3.  connected using manual addresses on both the PC and the Mac.  this part is beyond me.   

    It works!

    Good luck.

    Normally you do not need a round cable as the Mac os is clever enough to do it

    My 2 x Macpro are connected with a strait cable
