1st Section - NETWORK SETUP

Setting up static ip addresses is a good idea. Sometimes, when working with lots of network devices that include auto IP addresses, you just have to make sure you start-up your devices in the right sequence otherwise you risk ip address conflicts. Thanks for articulating the walk through steps very handy.

I never figured out what the issue was. We'd gone a few months between tour stops, and when we sat down, the Net Broadcaster setup just wasn't working anymore, so I tried OSC for the first time. I was pressed for time, so I didn't explore it thoroughly. Thinking back on it, after converting everything to OSC, I seem to remember positing that it might have had something to do with me having a newer version on my personal Mac Pro (trash can) than the second Mac Pro had.

Never did figure it out, but I found a solution, so that's all that mattered to me.

Now to begin the arduous process of putting all these photos into a post on my website and writing out actual steps. *sigh*

[Woland]

It's not done, but this'll be the link for the post on my site pertaining to Lan, OSC, and Net Broadcasters:

It's. So. Detailed.

(Why do I do this to myself?)

Edit: I'll probably break this into three or four separate posts, but keep the master post with all of the information as well.

@woland Okay good and bad. I was able to get the Net Broadcaster to work but not the Osc. I've attached my screen shots to show you my set up.

Try checking the “Auto-Detect Input” box in the Stream Setup Window.

@woland I did and nothing.

1. Can you post screenshots of your Network Windows on both computers, and the advanced options where you set the manual IP? You’ll need to make sure they’re both using the same subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and the same router address (below the subnet mask). 

2. Do you have an ethernet switch or a wireless router than you can connect them both to via Cat5/Cat5e/Cat6. That’s what I’ve done in the past, as opposed to just running an Ethernet cable between the two computers.

@woland Okay I think I got it. Now I'm getting this message

[Woland]

@jamie-nesbitt

If you haven’t already, delete the space between “Comp” and “2”. Spaces aren’t allowed.

@woland I realized there was a space betweent Comp2 and the /. So I've got Computer 1 listening to numbers! But I'm still getting the error message on Computer 2

[Woland]

@jamie-nesbitt

Well if it’s that same error message, try just erasing and retyping the whole line that’s giving you the error.

Best wishes,
