Gizmo cant connect to iMac server

(1/3) > >>

Fast Eddie:
Hi guys. Trying to connect android to my iMac server to be used as a controller - both are on my home network. I have configured as per the online instructions using the access key, but Gizmo cannot connect even though in its search it tries the correct IP address for the server. Any ideas please?  Thanks.

You might have the Apple firewall enabled.

System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Firewall 

Try turning it off as a test.

Fast Eddie:
Thanks Brian.  I have tried with the firewall on and off and with MC as an exception.  I have also tried with and without VPN (which i use on both the iMac and the Android). Unfortunately still no connection.  Further thoughts gratefully received.....

blgentry:
On the iMac itself, open a web browser and try this address:

http://localhost:52199

That's the port that MC listens on and should give you a web page.  If that works, you'll know that MC is listening.  If not, there's something else going on.

Fast Eddie:
Hi Brian.  When I do that I get:  "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:52199"  However when I open MC21 and repeat it a web page (search page) opens and then I am asked via popup if I will accept incoming connections from MC21 - to which I agreed (even though it is an exception in the firewall security).  Gizmo will still not work on the Android.
If I repeat with the firewall disabled and MC21 running then I get a JRiver Library Server page.  If I quit MC21 and repeat then I get the "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:52199" message.

If I type http://localhost:52199/Gizmo/ then I get a Gizmo app on my iMac that works either locally on the iMac or from the iMac to my DAC, etc.

Being a non tech I have no idea what all this means but hopefully this is giving you info to help.

Thanks again I appreciate your time.
