That's very odd. I assume we're talking about the same computer here, which can see the empeg via ftp/http but not via emplode, at the same time (i.e. no reboots in between)?

Have you tried forcing the IP in the emplode settings - or if you're doing that already, instead asking it to poll the network for any active empeg devices? Do neither of these options work?

You haven't by any chance got the 'disable_emplode=1' setting in your hijack config? (see here for config settings)

Let us know,
