There have been a few posts on the issue, but I'm getting a behaviour that doesn't match, thus I'm asking now. I have a suspicion there may be some Windows networking quirk that has appeared, and users will need more guidance on how to sort the issue.
The scenario thus far:
- Had been DJing in export mode from a laptop in RB 5, to a switch connected to 3 XDJ 1000 Mk2 decks.
- The entire setup was fine for a very long time until about a week ago. Then, the Link button stopped appearing.
- Didn't really think, just assumed upgrading to RB 6 was the solution as I knew RB6 had just landed.
- The broad outcome was - No Link Button.
- Looked into the posts online, and have restored the Link Button by disabling my firewall.
However, I am getting the following outcomes now:
- Sometimes my 3 decks just don't show up in the link 'bar' at the bottom of RB.
- Other times, they do, but the decks themselves won't actually make a Rekordbox connection.
- And other times, the connection suddenly kicks in, and the decks can fully connect as they used to... But without warning, this reverts to the point above, where it won't make a connection. It seems to only connect for seconds (you can see the menus appear on the decks... then they go)
This is a feature I've used constantly for some time, so I'd massively appreciate help. I suspect it's very possible it's a Windows-side issue... Though having fully opened the firewall, it's hard to see what. I've only got the one ethernet adapter on the laptop, and I've shut down Wi-Fi as well just to eliminate things.
