Macbook/Sonic Pad IP not recognizing

Hi ashleigh1331! We see that you're facing connectivity issues with your Macbook/Sonic Pad, we hear you, and we're happy to assist you.

 Let’s troubleshoot this step by step:

Check Network Configuration:

• Verify that your MacBook is connected to the same local network as the Sonic Pad.
• Ensure that both devices are using the same IP address range.

Ping the Sonic Pad:

• Open the Terminal on your MacBook.
• Type the following command and press Enter: ping 192.168.1.72
• If you receive responses, it means your MacBook can communicate with the Sonic Pad.

Check Firewall Settings:

• Confirm that your MacBook’s firewall isn’t blocking communication with the Sonic Pad.
• Temporarily disable the firewall and try connecting again.

OctoPrint Configuration:

• Make sure OctoPrint is correctly configured to use the Sonic Pad’s IP address (192.168.1.72) and port 80.
• Check OctoPrint’s settings for any discrepancies.

Router Settings:

• Log in to your router’s web interface (usually via a browser).
• Look for port forwarding settings and ensure that port 80 is forwarded to the Sonic Pad’s IP address (192.168.1.72).
• Restart the router after making changes.

DNS and DHCP:

• Flush the DNS cache on your MacBook
• Ensure that your MacBook is using DHCP.

Restart Devices:

• Power cycle both your MacBook and the Sonic Pad.
• Sometimes a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues.

Check Ethernet Cable:

• If you’re using an Ethernet cable to connect your MacBook, ensure its securely plugged in.
