Hello everyone, I am very new here - and so here is the usual 'wtf noobie post....be gentle - I am trying (very trying).๐':
I was very excited to discover this software, and decided to download the trial verision to learn the workflow...and to make sure it would work. Well... fat chance of that so far.
My Master (DAW) Machine is a Macbook Pro OS= Mojave 10.14.6. It's a little old but should be fine for now. Firewall is OFF.
My SLAVE Machine is a Dell Insparon Laptop running Windows 10 (home).
This is a direct connection - no Router just 1 cable between 2 machines.
The Ethernet is Via a USB3 to Ethernet adaptor on the Dell and then into an Apple Ethernet to that thunderbolt socket thing.(?) I have tested the PC with Ethernet Internet, and it is fine and instant, same on the mac - but as far as getting VSL comunication throught this cable...it's simply NO.
So I have done all the suggested things: PC Firewall is On BUT The TCP and UDP Ports are set up as shown in the manual, those ports are open.
I set a static IP adress on the Ethernet PC side - following the Manual protocal (though I did not know what "Gateway" to give it, and I did not know what DNS to give it so - left it blank. ?
I simply can not get the PC to be recognised by the Mac VSL Server. Dissapointed - as it is supposed to be plug and play...almost anyway. But I have spent 4 days and am nowhere. I can only "see" my local host on the mac (the mac intself.).
ipconfig on the PC simply states for the Ethernet:
- Ethernet Adapter...........Ethernet3
- Media State..............Media Disconected
- Connection - Specific DNS suffix.
It's a longshot - but I am no further than when I started. So if anyone has any suggestions, please, let me know.
I would love to use this software but it's not looking as straightforward as it claims, and certainly not proving easy to find an answer.
Thanks Everyione,
Will XXX๐ข
