(b2468) - Networking question

Hog 3
Hog 3 Exp Wing

1 DP2000 (Artnet Mode)
1 Hog3PC (Macbook Pro via Parallels Windows XP)

Has anyone had any issues with connecting a second console on a network? I had just upgraded to b2468 and when I tried to log on today with my Hog3PC for remote focus, I was having strange issues.

I could connect to the show server on the main console without any issues. However, I could not CONTROL anything from the 3PC. It showed up in the main console as Console #2 (correct), it loaded all of my data from Console #1...playbacks, etc. (correct), but, if I pushed play on any of the faders, nothing would play. If I grabbed fixtures on the 3PC, they would show up in the programmer, but not in the output. However, if I grabbed fixtures on the console, those fixtures would show up in the output window of the 3PC. So...I know it was talking, but I could not control from the laptop.

This is the same setup I have been using for almost a year now and never had a problem before this last upgrade. (Wireless, laptop, software) Nothing has changed in either the Hog3 network or the laptop (no new software...) I'm still running my Windows XP (yes, it's in Parallels on a Mac).

Anyone else having any issues????

    [quote=bellons;38784]Hi Jon, why don't you try to run hog3pc under bootcamp if you have it installed and see if it makes any difference. It definitely sounds like a parallels issue to me.

    [quote=Andris;38785]Jon, I have never had good luck running hog3PC under OS emulation on a mac (Parallels/VMware). The only way to make it work on a mac is to actually boot into Windows via bootcamp.

    Maybe if one of your friends has a windows laptop, you should try it with that? :Eyecrazy: That way it would only be a short job and should narrow it do to whether the issue is in parallels or not.
