mcsimuss new poster Registered: 05/01/2003 Posts: 8	i've installed the latest release of Jemplode for Mac and it doesn't find my empeg player when I connect it to the computer via USB. And I couldn't find an answer to it in FAQs. Anyone had the same problem? What should I do?

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	Are you using a netmask other than 255.255.255.0? If so, Java's mediocre IP implementation doesn't provide a method of retrieving actual netmasks and jEmplode just hopes that it's 255.255.255.0, IIRC. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14491 Loc: Canada	Actually, I just (very!) recently changed the netmask to 255.255.0.0 from the original value of 255.0.0.0, and Jemplode seems to be finding the machines now. BUG: When using both "specific address" and "broadcast" (both checked), it lists the same player twice (the "specific" one). Cheers

I guess they needed to support things other than just platforms with BSD sockets... but even then, I suppose there are different variants of those ioctls, and some require superpowers on some platforms. Bleah.

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	I guess they needed to support things other than just platforms with BSD sockets I realize that you're saying this with the second part of your post, but isn't Java supposed to hide platform differences? And, in those cases where the netmask is unobtainable, just have it throw a specific exception. Not too difficult. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

It is hiding them, it's always lying to you Yeah, that's sort of unfortunate that they're going about hiding them the wrong way.
