Dean Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Ive just migrated everything over to eisy from Polisy and mostly have seen what others have reported. One thing I don't understand is that when the Polyglot autodiscovers the ISY, it finds it at 127.0.0.1, but all configurations show it on my internal network at the ".2" address. I can manually enter this real address into the configuration, but its not connecting. Autodiscover finds it at 127.0.0.1 and then shows it as connected. Am I missing a basic network principal or how is this configuration handled in how eisy reports its address? Edited April 4, 2023 by Dean added the IP address

Dean Posted April 4, 2023 Author Posted April 4, 2023 I made this a dedicated IP address. Is there anything I need to do to coordinate the host address with the real address?

No. use of 127.0.0.1 literally means "contact another process on the same local machine. It's automatic. nothing to do. https://www.lifewire.com/network-computer-special-ip-address-818385
