Hi, 

Any router involved?

Did you check that it doesn't have the IP 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2?

I do have a router that is controlling the WIFI connections on each computer. I do not see that it is using (or even has used) those IP's. 

There is no router or switch between the LAN connections of the master and slave.

Hi,

I was actually asking the wrong question with he 10.0.0.x network, sorry. 

I'd try different IPv4 addresses for the 192.168.1.x network and check if leaving the default gateway makes any difference. 

Best, 
Paul

Your subnet mask should normally be set to 255.255.255.0

You can try this :

Define "auto assign" and note down the result (DHCP)

Then put it to fix assign and key-ing what you have noted

After you must de-assign Wifi on the slave

The 192.168.1.x network IP's are automatically assigned by the WIFI Router. While it consistently assigns the same IP to the same device, it does not appear I can manually change the IP assignment from the router side of things.

When I attempt to assign static IP's on that WIFI network from within the adapter settings on each PC, I lose all connectivity on that wireless network. 

I have also tried removing both PCs from the WIFI network completely (and disabling the WIFI adapters on each PC). That leaves the only network being the direct LAN connection between the two PCs. When I do this, I can ping the PCs with the 10.0.0.x addresses, but I still get nothing showing up in VEPro6.

Ok. I noted what was being auto-assigned to my PCs from the router, then manually set that information on each PC.  When doing this I had to leave the DNS server addresses blank.

Still no slave instances inVEPro6. Also when I did this, the PCs could still talk to each other over the WIFI network, but my router would not give either PC internet access, oddly enough.

Wasn't too sure what "de-assign WIFI on the slave" meant, so after I tried the above, I disabled the WIFI on the slave. No change in results. 

if you disable WIFI everywhere and set your 2 x PC with DHCP, does it work creating a new song.

Update:

I still wasn't having any luck getting my slave instances to appear in my DAW plugin, so out of desperation -- and for some reason unknown to me -- I decided to type in the IP address for my slave into the "Server" field at the bottom of the plugin window as well as the name of the instance I had running on the slave.

Voila! It connected!

Sort of. It didn't connect to the instance I had open on the slave, but it created a new instance instead. 

So while it seems that my VEPro6 servers can indeed talk to eachother, I am not sure how to create an instance on the slave and then access that instance on the master via the DAW plugin. 

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi, 

There MUST be something blocking network communication there. 

Do you have any additional "security software" installed, like, e.g., Little Snitch? These programs need to make exceptions for VE PRO. 

Sorry if that has been asked before: Did you disconnect from the internet and deactivate your firewalls on both computers?

Best, 
Paul

Firewalls disabled on both PCs. WIFI (only source of internet) disbled on both PCs. 

I do have Webroot Security installed. Tried making exceptions for VE PRO, no luck. Completely disabled the program on both machines. Still no luck. 

I have been successful in manually connecting to the existing slave instances by typing them into the DAW plugin. They just don't show up on the list of server instances. At this point, while it is not extremely convenient to type these in manually, it's certainly functional which is more than it has been up to this point.

Hi, 

Thanks for the update. Still, shouldn't be that way, and works for literally thousands of musicians. 

Does anybody else have an idea what's happening here?

Would you like to post an overview of the existing network settings like you did in the opening post?

Best, 
Paul

I am having the eaxct same problem as the OP, but my master machine is a Mac (10.9.5) and my slave is a Win 7 64Bit machine. If I type the IP & name of instance in directly I can connect, but the slave server does not show up in the list in the server plug-in on my master machine (using Pro Tools 11).

Thanks,,

George

Hi George,

What are your network settings on both computers? Which AV Software, Firewall Settings?

If you activated the Firewall on Windows, did you check the exceptions as described in the VE PRO 6 manual (first pages)?

Best,
Paul

Hi George, 

Can you please send me some screenshots of your network settings to support@vsl.co.at?

Best, 
Paul

Hi Paul,

I have just sent you a .zip file with pica of the settings from both machines.

Thanks!

George

Bump

Has this been officially resolved? Having the exact same issue, and have taken all the steps. Master computer is a mac however, everything else is identical

Hi, 

I will need exactly the same information from you as I requested from the previous posters. 

Thanks, 
Paul

Hi guys! Having the exact same issue. My master and slaves computers are all Macs. OS 10.11.6. Switch Cisco sg110-24. Any help? Thanks!

Can you post :

1) your setting (how all this little world is connected)

2) your Network settings on each computer
