Network Midi problem

When you see each others computer in the Directory then your connection is fine. Make sure that both machines are on the same local subnet, then Bonjour will doo the rest and find each other. So that part seems to be correct.

Make sure you have set the "Who may connect tom" popup menu correctly. This setting can restrict the actual connetion even if the computers "see" each other. Set it to "Anyone"

Well, I remember one case where the MIDI network refused connection.

One of my computers is usually connected to a cable modem, and to build a local network I just unplug it. Once when the local MIDI network refused connection I noticed that the computer address shown in AMS didn't look as usual but was some special address related to my internet provider. After switching TCP/IP in system preferences off and on, the normal address came back and everything worked well.

Could it be that you have a similar issue?

I've noticed that it works only if AMS on both machines is active (open).
Did you try that already?

Have you tried disabling the firewall on both macs?

Sup All,


Sometimes a simple relog of any of the computers' user would fix some network issues. ANd let me add, as mentioned before "Boujour" will handle for the rest.

Edgar,

thanks again for your great manuals.

It helped me to clean my MIDI network setup from some redundant entries as I wasn't really aware of the zero-config technology before.

Dont need to buy RAX, you have AU LAB that is included in MAC OS X develloper folder

Best

Cyril

It's on MAC OS X 10.4 DVD !
