How can I go about doing that? Is there any where I can read about it for implementing it for windows? Edit: I got it, you meant entering the local IP of one of the nodes in the Jami account settings of all the machines. I did that but unfortunately it still does not work across rooms and now I wonder if something else is wrong (some window network settings maybe?) with some of the devices.
I am currently testing on three devices in two rooms(Room X has machine A & B, room Y has C). A & B are able to talk with each other with or without the local bootstrap setting while C is not. Another curious thing I noticed is that on the C machine, the “Link Another Device” option is failing. This has led me to suspect some problem with network setting. But then, some time ago, I had C talking to D which was in the same room Y. I know I am rambling but it is utterly frustrating and I want to get to the bottom of this? Is it the switches? But then why would tox work?
I am aware that printer discovery works only on private networks. Since some of my devices were configured to identify same network as ‘Public’ and since converting them to private did not work out of the box, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling Jami. But I noticed that upon reinstall, the previous users and settings are automatically loaded. Which means, Jami uninstall did not clean all the related files. How can I go about doing a fresh reinstall in that so that everything works like it is the first time.
Thanks!
Edit2: Looks like machine C indeed has some windows 10 issues. I have tried setting the network type to private again and again through the powershell command ‘Set-NetConnectionProfile -Name “NetworkName” -NetworkCategory Private’ but it gets reverted to ‘Public’ again and again. The issue has been taken up with microsoft time and again but with no clear resolution.
Link1, Link 2
I will next try exploring if this issue exists on other machines in my LAN. By the way, the network printer discovery and pings work just fine on this machine.
