I have been trying to get the GNS system to work with my observatory PC. I have the SGP trial up and running: I have ticked all the boxes in the 'Notifications' window. I downloaded the 'GNS Free' App to my iPad to check that I could make a connection. I have not been able to make any sort of connection. In the App, I simply get the 'Waiting For Communications' message. No communication is ever established.
I have used ipconfig to determine my host name and entered this into the App. All other settings are as per the Instruction Manual on the GNS website. I have tried manually assigning a permanent IP address to my observatory PC. This didn't work. Windows Firewall is turned off. I am running Win 10 Home. I am not sure how to proceed.
I am aware that GNS should not be running when SGP is started. I am aware that GNS will not start via SGP until a sequence is running (I have been running a 'Flats' sequence to test the system.) When I could not get SGP to run, I did try downloading and running the Windows GNS program. The instructions tell you to run 'update' via the command prompt to test the system. I have to report that this did not work either. I got some sort of message telling me that something was amiss on 'line 5' (whatever that means).
I have contemplated getting an AAG Cloudwatcher, at some point in the future. Does this require GNS to be working or does it communicate via a different system? I'm a bit reluctant to purchase something if the software from the company cannot be made to work on my machine.
