@williamc1231 > Which mixer are you using and how is it connected?

[ianmurphyz]

can you please help me i have that problem but an on vista please help me please ;0)

@ianmurphyz > I had a video hosted elsewhere but their service has since shut down. The key is to have the Vista firewall set to prompt you any time there's an incoming connection - rekordbox will alert you with 4 connection programs, you need to allow all four to connect. The alternative is to simply disable the firewall.

@DeejayPulse thanx for reply,i did disable the firewall and prevx its another firewall i have and me wireless and wont work, if i shut every thing down wire it all up and turn it on it works but not for long and not for the same amount of time,its a real head burner,o it does pop up windows fierwall is blocking it but i say unblock and if i go in to my fierwall it is letting it pass,am so annoyed at this thanx again for reply ;0)

@ianmurphyz > On many computers, it won't work properly if the wireless is enabled. You may need to disable it regardless of your firewall configuration. If you have problems with the firewall, try disabling that rather than trying to configure rules for it. I have used the Windows firewall, Kerio firewall and Comodo firewall all with no problems once they're configured for the 4 apps to get through.

wow! thanks man... works gr8... now if I could only get a good deal on a DJM 2000.... hahahaha... or even the DJM 800... greetings from Mexico!

@chrisruelas > If you only have one player, you can connect it directly to the computer. If you have multiple players, you can use a network switch or hub. We suggest not using a router as it may have filtering that may cause problems with the network traffic. The third choice is if you're using a DJM2000, it has a network switch built-in, you can use that directly.
