Network Error when switching on MC Control, Mix and Transport

[dkean]

I have 3 units - MC Control, Mix and Transport on my Cubase system.
All on Static IPs.
When I switch each unit on I get the Network Error window I then switch each one off and back on again and then they're fine, all appear in the My Surfaces window in EuControl Settings and work perfectly well for the rest of the session. Thought updating to EuCon 2.7 might fix this but it hasn't.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I have one MC mix in addition to your setup, and it works fine.

1. I always start my Mac first
2. I wait for about 10 seconds to be sure that my router/network is ready
3. Then turn on my MC's
4. When the MC's is ready I start Pro Tools

Yep. That's exactly what I do. I get the network error when I switch on the first unit. Then switch off and back on to fix. Do the same with subsequent units.
It's just an annoyance at the start of a session.
Thanks anyway.

I find turning on the units, one at a time and making sur they each on is fully booted to the avid screen before turning in another unit, works best. If you turn on 2 units at once, they seem to acquire the same IP address.

I understand that's a pain

Thanks but I have my units on static IPs.
I turn them on one at a time and each one appears in the EuControl window then the network error occurs - I switch the unit off and then on again and it is fixed. It's very strange!

I never had any luck with static ip. Dynamic ip is much more stable for me for some reason.
