Title: Re: Another "easy" Friday Question

Does that machine have a static IP? If not, assign one to it. Also, in your network adapter settings under Link Speed & Duplex ... do not leave it on “Auto Detect” ... I have mine set as 1000Mbps/FullDuplex.

I had the “disappearing project root” problem until we changed those two things.

Might be obvious but make sure that the local account that runs the PI and MI has full administrative privileges.

I.
