This is a fairly common problem with lots of potential causes:

Hi,
great to hear it's working. Sorry, I didn't realize the dns-sd program and
command is part of the Apple Bonjour package which I installed on my
computer in the past, so I presumed it is part of Windows10 like SSH client.

It's little odd to hear that connecting directly by Ethernet cable to your
router solved the issue, that looks like your router created two
subnetworks, for wired and wireless networking. Given how many printers use
this technology and nowadays have both wi-fi and RJ-45 connection, I would
think that it would cause problems.

Hi,

   Thanks for responding.  I don't have dns-sd, but googled it, and started
reading a bit.  While reading, I realized my Windows10 PC was connected to
the LAN with wifi.  I directly connected the PC to the router with an
Ethernet cable and it (anddemo from the BBB to the WIn10 PC) started to
work.  If I unplug the cable it won't work properly.  So that looks like
the problem - hopefully :-)

   Now I can try to proceed with Cetus again.

Thanks again,

Jeff

Hi,
I don't know the exact image, so maybe my advice is not accurate. But on
normal minimal Debian ISO, there is no avahi-daemon package installed.
Machinekit does not care because it has it's libavahi-dev (or something
like this), no error is thrown but services are not broadcasted to local
network.

On Windows 10 computer try running dns-sd -B _machinekit._tcp in command
line and see if it can find anything.

Hi,

   I am trying to get machine-client to run with Cetus, but with no luck,
so I've backed up to trying with anddemo.
   Also no luck.
   I'm using: bone-debian-8.11-machinekit-armhf-2019-04-01-4gb.img.xz on
a BBB
   After downloading that to uSD I follow up with

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get upgrade

   then

  sudo nano /etc/linuxcnc/machinekit.ini

   to set REMOTE=1
   Next I downloaded the anddemo files and then run:
   ./run.py
   From that I get:
----------------------------
starting realtime...rtapi_msgd command:
/usr/libexec/linuxcnc/rtapi_msgd --instance=0 --rtmsglevel=1
--usrmsglevel=1 --halsize=524288
rtapi_app command:  /usr/libexec/linuxcnc/rtapi_app_rt-preempt
--instance=0
done
loading anddemo.py... done
starting mklauncher... done
starting configserver... done
-----------------------------
   I then try machinekit-client (both 32 and 64 bit windows versions) on
my Windows PC on the network.
   but it can't find the BBB client in either unicast or multicast
   I can however ssh in to the BBB from Windows running putty, so the BBB
is visible to Windows on the network.

   Any suggestions on how to get the communications link working properly?

Thanks,

Jeff
