    SoundLib's G Player plugin was the problem in my Logic project. Once I took it out, I was able to connect to the 2nd machine's metaframes. The DP Mach has been known to cause similar connection problems in the VEP server.

    Check your plugins!

    I should clarify that the G Player was not in a VEP server. It was simply open within my Logic project. Strange but true....

    Interesting but for me, no G Player in my project and my template is just full of 40 Vepro. Anyway it will certainly help some of us who have that network issue. Keep going.

    Hello again, I found a little trick to get the slave instances showing up. 1/ Open the 32 sever on the slave computer (usually i dont need it) 2/ open the Vepro VST where you need to open the 64 instance who doesnt want to show up, load a Vepro instance by keying the ip and instance s name. Right after that it gonna open a new Vepro 32 with the name you entered just before. 3/ Close the vst Vepro s windows 4/ Open the Vepro s windows again, clic connect, then the 64 instances from your slave machine should appear...a least it works for me. 5/ If it doenst work, repeat from 1/ to 4/ sometime it just appear the second time. 6/ If it still doenst work, well buy candles and try to kill a chiken when the moon is full ;-) Keep searching!

    Anybody ever get this resolved?  For a long time now my VE Pro 64 bit server doesn't show up in the list.  Using Nuendo 5.5 with the latest VE Pro with Windows 7 64bit on both machines.   Earlier on when VE Pro was released it seemed to work fine but hasn't in a long while.  I have tried fiddling with firewall settings, even turning it completely off, to no avail.  I pretty much have to key in the ip address of the server to connect to it.

    Hi,

    Vienna was never able to help me. They tried twice to no avail. I spent a lot of money hiring various tech folks who tried changing my ethernet setup. So as to be able to bypass VEPro entirely, I even went so far as to buy a 2nd audio card for my 2nd computer which had been using VE Pro server. I use 3 workstations and therefore bought 3 soundcards.
    Shane Koss, a studio consultant in NYC who also demos Vienna products, was the one who finally came up with a solution for me. He had run into a similar problem with someone using Digital Performer with the Mach sampler. Shane discovered that when the Giga files were taken out of the setup, VE Pro Server projects showed up fine in the server window. In my case, I was indeed using a few Giga files hosted by SoundLib's sample player. As soon as I pulled the SoundLib component out of my Logic plugin folder, everything worked fine. 
    I was happy to have found the solution, thanks to Shane, but I spent a ton of money trying to get the system functioning properly and more importantly, eventually lost a large contract because of missed deadlines. It was the first time I'd ever lost a contract and the first time that I had ever missed deadlines. It was awful. I have a composer friend who has jumped ship from VEPro for the same reason. I knew, at the time of my problems, that I was not alone in having these issues with the software. I'm really sorry to hear that there are still problems with it because VEPro is great... when it works.
    I don't know if this helps or not. Good luck!
    cheers,
    Judith

    I am confused, are there people running VEP5 on the same Ethernet / Network / Ports as the rest of the office network? I am new to VEP 5, but knowing something about computer and bandwidth, the setup I have is via a dedicated Ethernet / Network / Port on my MacPro. All my general network traffic internet / email / file sharing / printing / etc. is using one connection and on a completely separate network (including cabling / switches / subnet) I have no more than 5 VEP 5 machines running running. More than enough bandwidth so far for what I need and everyone seems to be running well. That GPlayer issue is crazy! Sounds like some people have really dug deep to figure out how to fix this issue!

    Dedicated network here.  No, Gplayer here.  Will have to troubleshoot more.

    If you open a new empty song / project with your sequencer, can you connect to a new and empty VEP project in the VEPro server? Despite youre not having any Giga files, it might be worthwhile pulling out plugins one by one. You never know! The solution to my problem was so ridiculously simple as to be profoundly disturbing.

    Had already tried that but still didn't work.  thanks for the suggestion though.  I will figure it out.  More of a nuisance really.  I will try and connect them directly with a crossover cable.
