Guys, I've lost the ethernet connection between the G5, network hub and the console, and I can't get it back. I've unplugged everything, power-cycled everything and tried to enable ethernet again in the peripherals dialog. No dice.

I have Vienna Ensemble Pro installed on both the G5 and the Westmere, and that setup works, and everything goes through the HP Procurve network hub.

Yeah, power-cycled everything except the console! Talk about performing under pressure.

(note to self: calm down)

The upside is that I had to work a couple hours without the console, and it was plain torture. Slow, slow, slow. I appreciate the investment that much more now.

Hey guys,

I have the same problem. I upgraded to PT 10.0.0 & lost the ethernet connection to the ICON. I've power cycled everything, including the ethernet hub, but the main & fader unit on the ICON will still not show up on the peripherals menu in PT.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Not sure or this could help you, but do you check the right ethernet socket under "peripherals" , because the powermac has 2 sockets..??

Grz,

Louis

Louis,

Thanks for the response. Yes, I did check the correct ethernet port. I've tried going into both ethernet ports, with & without the ethernet hub.

I lose connection about once a month or so, and a power-cycle fixes it every time. That is, I have a routine that I always follow. Probably not necessary, but it works for me:

Peripherals > Disable ethernet controllers
Quit PT, and power-cycle the D-Command
Reboot the G5
Launch PT
Peripherals > Enable ethernet controllers
All good again!
