X-Dante Card Problem

[Jack_Rider]

I was able to set that ip you used

sorry I don't understand how you set this ip address) in Mac or what?

1) Remove the card and try setting the mixer ip without any Dante card in. If that doesn’t work,

if you talking about ip in behringer x32, that can change ip address ONLY for remote control, not for Dante card, it's not same things.
Maybe I don't understand, but I trying this setup..

@Jack_Rider I think we need to go back to your basic actual connections. How are you connected to the x32? You are not using any network switch? You are just connecting from the primary port of the dante card to your mac lan port? I think I may have missed your basic connections and may see the problem. I use a network switch and have many dante devices on my network. I do not connect directly from the x-dante primary port per se. I had nothing but trouble long ago when I did. Despite what the X-Dante manual shows on how to connect. I abandoned that connection setup a long while back as it gave me nothing but LOTS of errors in DC when I did. So long ago and routine for me was this, that I didn't consider it a factor in any advice I gave you. I somehow assumed you were connected in a similar manner. Sorry for that and the confusion it caused. The X32 and X-Dante and Mac and any othere Dante devices are all part of the network.

Fwiw this is how I would try to connect in your situation now. A short cable from the secondary port of the card to the X32 remote jack. A Primary port connected cable to your mac rj45. Set up the X32 MIXER to the desired static ip and subnet mask in the range desired. Make sure the Mac ethernet port setting has a static ip and subnet in that same range as the X32. I might suggest FIRST trying DHCP for both the X32 and Mac. Easier, and can be changed later if you have success. As I said before I believe the XDante card will reset within this range you set using either static or dhcp for the Mac and x32 but perhaps not. Now start DC and see what it does. This may require a restart of one or both the Mac and X32. Also might take a minute to all connect, I needed no restart and it took about 30-45 seconds for DC to see all. If that doesn't work, manually reset the X-Dante network config within DC and try it. I did the above using dhcp and had no issue connecting. I bypassed my switch to just use the X32 and Mac. I did not change my ip's to static...dont want to mess with my system.

I would suggest getting a small network switch soon if you don’t have one and connect the primary card cable and Mac cable to it. Your Mac should still have (and needs) wireless access to the internet. You need internet access for DC to get updated firmware, likely more important if you have a BK3 card as the newest 4.2.7.7 version is only available from Audinate/ via DC. Also it will tell you if updates are available for any Dante device in your network. So you need internet access. I hope this helps as I am running out of ideas.
