I have a MacPro running 10.5.8 with VE Pro. I also have a G5 running 10.4.11 with VE3. When I start the VE Pro Server and the VE3 Service utilities on each respective machine, nothing happens. In VE Pro, I was able to save a metafile, but was not able to get the two machines to "shake hands".

Just to make sure the ethernet cable was not defective and that it was properly connected, I quit the Server and Service on both machines. Then I went to the Finder's GO menu on the MacPro and looked at that particular Network. I still had my G5 listed there and was able to connect that way. Ports and cables are fine.

Question: Shouldn't VE Pro on the MacPro in 10.5.8 talk to VE3 on the G5 slave running 10.4.11?

Thanks.

Thanks, Martin. 

Since starting this thread, though, I pondered whether or not to install VE Pro on the G5, but tried VE3 on both machines instead. Still came up with no connection.

With nothing to lose at this point, I'll install VE Pro on the G5 once I've had a bit of sleep. It has been a long day.

Thanks again.
