Ethernet crashes !?
hi
Working on a new Macbook Pro (which means no Ethernet port) I bought the (very expensive) Apple cables USB-to-Ethrenet and Thunderbolt-to-Etherent in order to use my old LANBOX LCE
with a very simple max patch (sending 9 lines - continous streams) to a LED bar, max keeps on crashing (5 crashes already)
_The only new thing here is the xxx-to-Etherenet cable : in the beginning I thought the problem was the USB (too slow maybe ?) so I changed to Thunderbolt, but it keeps crashing
_Anybody had some problems with those cables? Is it a known problem?

Mac Book pro 2.3 IntelCore i7
OS10.9.1
latest MAX 6.1.6
many thanks

I have been running the same setup without any problems, well except for the LED bar, Im using LED tri pars.
If you post the patch I can test it on my setup.
hi
same setup? do you use usb or Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet???
I just did try the same patch on my previous MAC, OS 10.6.8 (and an ethernet port) no problems at all
So It must be a Mavericks problem........
anyhow, the patch is there (if you don't have "rand" object, replacing it with "random 256" should work)
Would be interesting to see if the crash log doesn't mention nsock, which is not in the standard distribution of Max.
the crashlog mentions it twice - then I don't know what it means (I am unable to read a crashlog). Nsock is given by lanbox, and is the standart (?) object-interface between max and lanbox. Of course i send a mail to lanbox as well!!!
your patch is not crashing for me, tried it with both usb and thunderbolt adapters.
But you don't need to use the Nsock object, test with this solution instead.
hi
thanks for the patch - actually NOW my patch is not crashing !! (yes I send the info etc to lanbox makers!!)
_one more thing - you say you connected it with the USB adapter : how did you manange this (manual IP I guess ????) I can not have the USB->etherent talk with the lanbox (with TB->Ethernet, it works)
