*** Connection Troubleshooting

Sofa Server discovery works pretty well but there are some external factors that may interfere with it:

- Are your devices on the same Wi-Fi network?

- Did you start the Sofa Server? There should be a small sofa icon on the menu bar.

- Is the Mac firewall enabled and blocking all connections? Try disabling it temporarily. If that works, reenable and tweak its options.

- Is your router blocking multicast?

- Is your Mac connected via ethernet and your router creates a separate Wi-Fi network?
