Ablenet connection issues on 2.7.0

Support
1

After updating to Ableset 2.7.0 I’m having issues using ablenet. Currently I have an M1 Mac connected to a Windows 10 PC via an ethernet cable. They both have static IPs. WiFi is turned off. I’m able to ping the other computer on both.

When I turn on able net on the Mac without the Ethernet cable connected, it adds a section, called “ablenet on unnamed”. Normally I’d expect the new section to say “ablenet on Lexs-MacBook-pro”. Not sure if this is a bug or if I’m doing something wrong. Same thing on the pc

When I connect the ethernet cable nothing happens. Then on the Mac I type the ip of the PC into the box labeled “connect to custom ips”. Then it correctly names the section, and a new section pops up with the name of the pc. But every few seconds it seems to disconnect then immediately reconnect.
Nothing changes on the pc, it still says 0 hosts connected.

I’m a little confused on what I should be typing into the “connect to custom IPs” box. Is it the ip of the computer listed or the ip of the computer I want to connect to.

Please fill out these values to make it easier to troubleshoot:

  • Mac OS Ventura 13.6.4, Windows 10
  • Ableset 2.7.0
  • Live 11.3.20

After testing on 2.6.7 everything works as normal.

@leolabs any ideas on what we might be doing wrong? Or is this a bug?

I’m having the same issue with one computer being a Mac and another being the Windows PC. The Mac is being controlled by Ableset fine but the PC won’t.
Also I noticed that Ableset doesn’t stay open on PC. Is that normal?

@lpage and I still have the issue when using 2 macs as well.

Anyone else having this issue? I have sent an email to support but neither @lpage or I have heard anything back from @leolabs

This issue is preventing us from using 2.7.0 so hopefully we can find a solution.
