Sed, thanks for your answer but you didn't give me a direct answer in my question. Can you connect you windows desktop as client to your MBA M1 as server?

Ah, understood. I will check this later today or tomorrow for you!

Hardy, what I meant was: "Before you answered, I did try to find whether PSX tells me my host IP address but I did not see it, even while I must have looked at that page."   :-)

Thank you all for advice. I'm currently away from home but will test all this on return

Seb, thanks for your answer but you didn't give me a direct answer in my question. Can you connect you windows desktop as client to your MBA M1 as server?

Panos, sorry for the late reply. I was kind of busy with World Flight 

Just tested this, and it works for me. My Windows PC as PSX client connects fine to my MBA M1 as PSX server. The firewall on the MBA is on, I haven't changed anything. To be honest, I don't fiddle much with the MBA as (mostly) everything works.

Thanks for the reply, Seb.


And a last question.

Windows PC as server, can you connect the MBA as client?

Windows PC as server, can you connect the MBA as client?

Hi PanosI,

Yes, that works too. I wonder what is causing these problems for you. My macOS is Sequoia 15.0.1, Windows is v11, with latest updates.

I don't know, Seb.
I have double and triple  check everything both on MBA and windows desktop/laptop and I am running everything with the latest updates.
But as you can see form the links above, I'm not the only one who has the exact same problem.
