The direct connection worked before, but in fact I had both broadcast and direct connection options checked. Choosing broadcast only I receive the "No devices found" message after a while. Occasionally I receive this console output too (see attachment - doesn't look good!).

I have other network connections set-up (e.g. wireless), but all are deactivated when I'm connecting to the empeg via a direct cross-over cable connection with static ip addresses. The network is working, the pc can both see and access the empeg, it's just jEmplode can't see the empeg.

It's very mysterious, and I'm fairly sure I'm not doing anything stupid (though I've said that too soon before...).
