ArtNet not sending signal to node

Anyone know what's wrong?

I am trying to program lights in Qlab over ArtNet, but somehow the the node doesn't receive any data. The IP address is set to 2.0.0.1 both in the network settings on the Mac, and on the node (Showtec net-2/5 pocket). Submask set to 255.0.0.0. I have also tried ip 10.10.100.2. It did send data for a second when I changed the IP back to 2.0.0.1, but that victory didn't last for long, more like 20 seconds.

Any ideas?

Also under Workspace status/Artnet, the node shows up, but as "inactive" even tho the node says its linked up correctly...

Erik,

Every device on your network needs to have a unique IP address; the reason it’s not working is because both devices have the same IP.

There are lots of tutorials online about networking basics - ArtNet is the same.

Try 2.0.0.1 on your Mac, 2.0.0.2 on your Node, and use a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 on both.
