Because I still have all the problems I have always had with syncing over USB with 2.0b7 I decided to give up on USB finally and use Ethernet instead. I have used Ethernet to sync before using the office LAN, but I hadn't tried it at home before.

So I plugged my Mk2a into my home LAN and tried to sync. It didn't work. I tried first letting the empeg get it's address via DHCP, which worked (i.e. it got the right address but the sync didn't work). I later reverted to a fixed IP address to see if that would help, it didn't.

I have tried choosing both "network broadcast" and "specific address" in emplode but neither worked. I could quite happily ping the empeg from all the other machines on my network, so I was puzzled that it wasn't working. I fired up Ethereal to see what was going on. What I discovered was that no data was being sucessfully transmitted onto the network by emplode at all.

The next thing I did was turn on the logging in emplode, here are the results.

Using "broadcast":

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going wrong ?
