I just downloaded JEmplode 2.0b1. I am running it on Mac OS X and my Empeg is connected using DHCP from my router. JEmpldoe finds my Empeg just fine. No problems here. Although I must say that I used to have problems with 2.0. What kernel are you running? I believe, if I remember, JEmplode wouldn't work with the stock 1.03 kernel properly. However it works fine using 2.0b7 developer kernel.
