Evening folks.
Well - yesterday I took the plunge and upgraded to VEP 7. I have been using VEP 6 for some time on a DAW / 3 slave system and, in the main, all has worked really well. I needed to upgrade to VEP 7 as I needed a template for a new Spitfire Audio BBC SO library and this was produced for VEP 7.
As far as the function of VEP 7 goes, I am really pleased. The upgrade went OK and it works. 48Gig of BBC SO loaded onto one slave, and all working well with Pro Tools.
I have Win 10 systems, each with 64 Gig RAM and I9 exstreme CPU. All software is up to date.
So my problem is..... and this does not happen "all the time" (but most of the time), is that when I instigate a plugin in Pro Tools it cannot find any servers 'out there.....'. I have done the normal stuff like making sure that the Windows Fire wall will let through VEP 7 and windows bonjour service etc. I have done this on all four systems. However, for much of the time I can see no servers.
I can use a direct IP address and name of instance, but that is really a pain.
So... have I missed anything obvious here? VEP 7 seems to be very solid, I am using 32 buffer settings with no artifacts or clicks with everything running at once. The DAW breaks no sweat either. Its just trying to get this network broadcast side of things to work I am finding a pain.
any ideas?
cheers

Hmmm (edited to add)... OK, so my instances were not 'activated' (or the channels at least in them), when activated then the server seems to show up...
