Gizmo cant connect to iMac server

<< < (2/3) > >>

MC21 needs to be running for gizmo to control it.  So, fire up MC21, keep the firewall disabled, and try to connect from Gizmo.  That should work.

No go I am afraid Brian.

I don't have enough information to help.  Give me something to work with and I can try to help you.

Fast Eddie:
Hi Brian. I apologise for not being more clear......If I do what you asked then I still get the message "There was a problem connecting to the server.  Please double check that you have entered the correct key and that the server and your connection are working".
I have checked the server key numerous times which i got from: tools/options/media network/

Is there any other info that I can give you?  I am not a tech so I dont really have any idea of what may be useful. Thanks.

I would try rebooting the Android device and trying again.  If that fails, I wonder if your Mac and Android are on the same network.

Sometimes, Wifi routers have split networks, so that there is a guest network and a "normal" network.  The guest network can't see the computers on the normal network.

You could try a web browser on the android with the IP address of your Mac and that same port as before.  As an example:

192.168.1.100:52199

Your IP address will probably be different.

You could also check the IP address on both the Mac and the Android and compare them.  If they aren't in the same range, the router might be isolating them from each other, as I outlined above.

These kinds of issues are sometimes tough to diagnose remotely.

It's quite late here and I'm going to bed.  Good luck to you!

Brian.
