julijas Ex Member	maxlink doesn't work when LAN cable unplugged Apr 28th, 2006, 5:49pm   Hello, When I unplug my LAN cable max/msp shows error: "error:jk.link:socket error.java.net.SocketException:error setting options Have already joined that group?" While the cable is pluged, Max/Msp works fine. What to do that I could use Maxlink without cable plugged in? Thank you in advance

I know it's kind of a hack, but does it work if you plug the cable into the computer, but nothing else?

Processing stops responding and shows error : java.lang.unsatisfiedLinkError: doError How could I resolve it? I don't know how to convince the computer that it's networked (in fake manner).. Thank you
