    I posted a question some time ago and no one answered so I'm thinking I asked it wrong or I wasn't clear.  

    Does anyone know the answer to this?  Is a router required between a mac and a pc?  or can they be connected directly with an ethernet cable (which works with Music Lab's Midi-Over-Lan)?  Any other advice on why my sequencer (Cubase 6 or DP7 on the MacPro) doesn't see the slave PC's VEP server?

    Many thanks for the kind help provided on this forum!

    Ensure that no firewall (be it software or hardware) is blocking relevant ports. Following network ports are used by VE Pro:

    - 6472 (TCP)
    - 6473 (TCP)
    - 6474 (UDP)
    - 6475 (UDP)
    - 6476 (UDP)
    - 6477 (UDP)

    Thanks for the kind advice.  Still no joy.  I went into my network properties and added an IP address manually using 123.123.123.123.  is there a specific address i should have used?  my subnet mask is 255.0.0.0.  does that matter?  I also made sure VEP was advertising on the network and that my network control panel was also set to share and advertise.  

    I also set the TCP ports  as instructed above.

    Does anyone have any other hints?

    Thanks.
