Timeout when forwarding notficiations

[Mark Trueman]

Hi,

Ive got two windows pcs, both running growl.

Mark-PC is the main pc in my house, on which i have notifications for
email etc. These all work locally.

Id like to forward these notifications to my laptop but im having some
trouble. I have added an identical password to both machines, and have
turned off both "require passwords for...." options in security. Both
machines allow network notifications

My main pc has "allow clients to subscribe" selected

On the laptop i "subscribe to notifications" and add the ip address of
my main pc (192.168.0.7). The main pc then shows that the laptop
(192.168.0.2) has subscribed

There is no firewall turned on on either machine. I have been sending
myself emails to test. Sometimes i get no log message. There is
nothing of use in debug.txt, but in some of the files in my logs
folder i get the following. Can someone help, id really love to get
this working.

Thanks

Mark

If the notifications are not making it to the laptop, then that is a problem, but it is not related to the TIMEOUT that is being logged. The TIMEOUT simply means that the notification that was displayed on your main PC was not clicked/closed deliberately and was left to simply fade out on its own. That process is separate of the forwarding.

Since the log file shows that the main PC thinks it forwarded the notification to the laptop, we can start there. Can you enable the logging on the laptop as well to see what (if anything) it logs? Assuming there is no network issue or firewall rule preventing socket communication between the two, Growl on the laptop should log that it received the notification. At that point, it might reject it due to a bad/missing password or some other policy (that app is not registered on the laptop, notifications of that type are disabled, etc), but the log file should give a clue at that point. Is the email application listed in the 'Applications' tab on the laptop? If not, that is probably the cause. Let me know, and if that is the case, I can walk you through how to get it sorted out.
