    you're right - it was rather a rant than a suggestion ;-)

    HAHAHA!  Hmmmm... maybe that is what's going on.  I know someone who is comfortable doing terminal stuff, and will ask a few questions.

    Thanks for that info.

    i just stumbled across some hint related to OSX server http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5413

    it appears apple has moved from IPFW to PF - the article also indicates older rules might remain active in case you upgraded your system from an earlier version ...

     

    i want a 10.9 capable mac please - at best a MacPro ;-) too much unusable scrap with an apple logo here ...

    i just learned there are actually 3 firewalls in OS X: IPFW (deprecated, but former rules might remain active), AFL (the one you have basic access throught the GUI), PF (accessible anly throug pfctl or a third-party-tool)

     

    you can also configure AFL through the command line:

    add a computer to the whitelist: /usr/libexec/afctl -w 192.168.0.10 (the IP of the remote computer)

    add a class-C network to the whitelist: /usr/libexec/afctl -w 192.168.0.0/24 (your private or audio network)

     

    if that does not solve the issues we had to dive into pfctl ...

    Thanks for this info, but I am not really comfortable working with command line stuff. I agree with Greg that this is not a huge problem, but it is a bit of an ongoing irritation and it would be great if it could be fixed.

    i couldn't agree more ...

    i'll try to get my hands on a mavericks capable mac and dive into the depth of firewalling for a more profound knowledge.

    as suspected earlier - it _could_ be that UDP ports are not read properly.

    This problem persists in the latest VEP update. Again, it is not huge, but it continues to be irritating.

    I've had this problem for a couple of years now. Alongside Vienna Ensemble Pro, it affects Pro Tools 11 and Ney-Fi too. All in all it's a minor nuisance, but it has that awful "fingernails on blackboard" quality.

    I has been more than a year since the last post on this topic. I am still having this problem. Paul, is the VSL team still looking for a solution?

    Thanks.

    Hi Michael,

    Looks like we gave up, at least as far as VE PRO 5 is concerned.

    Instead, we´re focussing on implementing many new features from the VE PRO wishlist. Hope this problem can also be solved with the next major upgrade/update (not scheduled yet). 

    Best, 
    Paul
