Right. Wouldn't that be a KA implementation issue? I'm not gonna say DanNet is perfect, but it's been used long enough that an issue like this would've popped up by now. However, if you can put together a test to demonstrate the issue, that'll go a long way to helping identify where the breakdown might be occurring.
Seem to be unable to drop an observer once added. Using Lua script, here is how I add the observer:
When I drop the observer I use:
This does not seem to drop the observer. I continue to see the observer and the observations continue to be updated. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
Edit: Never mind. User error. I was using ${Me.Invis} instead of Me.Invis for the query. While the query seemed to work just fine, this seems to have prevented being able to drop. Removing the ${} seems to have fixed it.
Lua:
mq.cmdf('/dobserve %s -q "%s"', peer, query)When I drop the observer I use:

Here's, hopefully, a little help for anyone suffering from brain farts & Windows' Firewall settings. I have two computers, my main gaming computer and a workstation literally bought because I have an addiction and wanted to offload a full raid less driver(s). Due to Black Friday deals, I upgraded my main and decided to reinstall everything. Loading up EQ to check, my main group seemed to run fine from my tank, driver 1. I loaded up my kid's group and noted that the tank, driver 2, wasn't able to broadcast to his group.
After some head-scratching, I ran through Sic's troubleshooting guide, double checked the Interfaces and re-loaded all DanNet instances, but was left without an answer and driver 2 not being able to issue commands to his minions. Drivers are all on one computer and the related group characters are all on the second computer. With /dnet info, I could see:
Driver 1 could see Group 1 + Driver 2
Group 1 could see Group 1 + Group 2 except Driver 2
Driver 2 could see Driver 1
Group 2 could see all of Group 1 & 2 except Driver 1 & 2
After some NSFW language, I was prepared to hang my head and post a question on the forums.
This all sounded familiar. Maybe I forgot to correctly set up EQ on Windows Firewall when I reinstalled? Sure enough, I went into the allowed apps on both computers and enabled private network access for all of my EQ installations. That fixed it. So just in case you're like me and click without thinking in a rush to get into your game, remember there are variables outside of EQ and RG that may be causing you trouble. Like user error. And I didn't even have to disrupt Sic's game time with a forum post.

the instructions tab has how to diagnose issues
dannet is p2p self discovery, so it should do it automatically - but you may need to change your interface
if you are some weird vpn setup you might need to ensure you're allowing local network through
First, let me say this may not be fixable or even supported and I understand that but thought I would ask.
MQ2Danet does not work and in fact, will prevent MQ from working on Mac M1 using Crossover/Wine to run EQ and MQ.
As far as I can tell Crossover/wine does support winsocks. Just let me know what would help to diagnose and fix the issue if it is even possible.

Question: VPN
I was asked to ask this question since i am having an issue with a certain plugin. I was informed that Danet doesnt work with a certain plugin due to VPN status. Although i do play and log on from work with VPN status is there an issue with VPN on dannet and if there is are there any suggestions? Thnks

Did you check the instructions tab? There are some diag steps there
I haven't had any luck finding more information regarding this so if it's there please accept my apologies and maybe point me in the right direction. For now I'm gonna necro this year and a half old thread to ask...Is there a way to stop dannet from sending commands to another computer on the same network? (Aside from the obvious solution of unloading it or using EQBC on one of the computers instead of dannet). You see my roommate and I both play, both use RG etc. Now that I got his dannet operational for him my commands are also sending commands to his characters while he's playing and vice versa.
Edit
We would both like to continue to use Dannet but, individually. I've also tried setting up and sending commands via /dge directly to a saved dannet group and that still sent commands to the rest of the characters. Maybe I'm not understanding that process...

You can probably just set your dnet interface on each computer to the Loopback IP.
Instructions for settings interfaces is here: https://www.redguides.com/community/resources/mq2dannet.322/field?field=instructions.
Also Sic has instructions to do exactly that here: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/mq2dannet.67218/page-9#post-507287
I can't thank you enough I guess I just wasn't understanding those instructions as being a fix for my situation. You're awesome thanks for putting up with this noobs questions!

Don't even need quotes! (Many mq things do, but not status)
Hi:
I am having an issue with /dgge I have not seen before.
I run 3 toons, each with mercs, on 2 computers. My Pal(Tank) and Brd(Assist) on my main computer, and a Dru(Assist) on the 2nd computer. All was working good this morning, then I had internet failure. Now internet is back, but when I run my Kissassist startup macro, the character on the 2nd computer, does not respond, as in the usual script in the MQ text box is blank. It works for the Brd on my main computer. Here is the macro that I have been using which I run on the Pal (MA).
/pause 20, /dgge /mac kissassist blah
/dgge /chase on
Has something changed involving the /dgge command ?
Should I post the contents of my *.ini files ?
Thanks

It's unlikely it's a KissAssist problem and more likely a communication issue between the PCs.
Sounds like the 2nd PC is getting Dannet commands. Hard to know what internet failure is, but it may have changed an interface on the second computer. You can try running the setup for Dannet again.
Instructions here.

Tried all that in the instructions in your link, but no change. Both computers show the arrow pointing to the same interface. I think it is a communication issue between computers as you said. When I say I had an internet failure, it was because my internet service provider disconnected me. I got reconnected, but maybe that changed something. I tried unloading and loading Dannet as per the instructions.
Do you think uninstalling and reinstalling Red Guides would do anything ?
Tried that, but still no change.
No. My main computer shows the 2 characters that are logged in on that computer, and my 2nd computer shows the 1 character that is on that computer. Computers are not seeing each other.
Unloaded and loaded Dannet on the 3 accounts. No change.
Utility - MQ2DanNet - Extra info
www.redguides.com
If for some reason the peers aren't self-discovering on a local network
- check the output of /dnet interface
- set one of the discovered interface names with /dnet interface "<name>"
- unload and then reload the plugin
- if you are using a VPN you need to ensure that your VPN isn't blocking local traffic
- > post with pictures here <
- failing that, I'll have to look into why, so contact dannuic with as much info as possible

They are set to the loopback IP, which only allows the computer to communicate with itself.
Set them both to the ethernet interface.
I'm in the same boat. I really would love to use Dannet on Crossover, but not sure what to do to help. I tried giving elevated permissions (since I assume it's trying to create a raw socket) but that just made it so Crossover doesn't work at all. I have disabled firewalls on computers and Antivirus. As PredUFu mentioned, if any plugin tries to load dannet its a hard freeze. As long as I delete the plugin from the directory every time I update, everything else works fine. EQBC is working for me, but when leveling a new toon, I would much rather use something like RGMercs so I don't have to invest a lot of time into an ini that will be out of date every 20 minutes.
