cedric Visitor	simple connection problem - 2006/08/22 20:20 Hello, I have some troubles making the connection between 2 mac in a building. Both mac are connected to same lan, and have same IP and submask. However they say not connected. I tried earlier in one room over the wireless connection. It worked perfectly. not anymore at different floors and with cable connection... Any idea how I can fix that problem? Thanks a lot.

For anyone else that may have same issue:

"If two machines have the same IP, Wormhole can't work. If threre's multiple machines with the same IP networking can't work, the IP addresses have to be unique for every machine.
If they don't have same IP maybe there's something in between those two rooms that blocks traffic (for instants a firewall). Maybe you could try to move the machines to the same room and connect with just one cable to see whether that works. Overall for Wormhole it doesn't make any difference whether you use Airport or Ethernet or Firewire, so the problem has to be entirely network/setup related."

cedric Visitor	Re:simple connection problem - 2006/08/30 14:05 Yes, true. IP is only different with last 2 digits. But subnet mask and router are same digits. But still no connection possible. It is in the same building. It works very well if two computers are connected in same room (one room is wireless, the other one ethernet). But once I try to connect one computer in one room, and the other one in the other room, it cannot connect anymore. Is it linked to the router? Any idea of what I should check to make it work? Thanks.

Re:simple connection problem - 2006/08/31 08:48 A router normally is no problem, unless it has a built in firewall or some traffic rules set up which filter wormhole traffic. Could you please check? And try turning it off.

What could also get you into trouble is multiple chained routers, but as your machines appear to be on the same subnet, that should not be the case. Basically WH doesn't care what's going on on the network, it just needs packets to flow through to the target machine without a lot of delay.

Can you run any other network service successfully between the machines (like file sharing, ftp, etc) ?

Thanks.
