Ghost Solution Suite

Hello, 

    I have run into a problem with my Ghostcast sessions.  I have found a work around but I would like to figure out the root of the problem.   When I set up my Ghost cast server on a Z series workstation that is registered with a fixed IP address the connection is reset once I connect a few client machines.

   My work around is that I use a laptop which does not have a registered IP (the only real difference I can think of) both the workstation and laptop are running all the same settings and programs. It seems to me of more of a network issue but I'm not sure.  If anyone knows of some trouble shooting steps to get to the botton of this one it would be greatly appreciated.

here is a snippit from the log when the reset occurs:

Is your fiixed IP address excluded at the DHCP server so that it is not issued to another machine ?

If you are multicasting, do you have IGMP snooping enabled on your network switches?

Hi EdT, 

   Thanks for the quick reply, yes; all of my IPs are linked to the MAC addresses of my Network cards so they should be given independed IPs.  Unfortunatly, I dont have access to the switches so I have asked the Network group to check "IGMP snooping" for me.   

Cheers,

Jason
