Haven't seen this one before.

Have you specified your external IP address as the host address? The plugin expects a local private IP address. Can you try specifying this in the plugin config?

Thanks, Jon. I’ve tried with using the Auto and an Private address. For giggles, I set the IP address of the Mac Mini that runs Indigo and wha-la! That error is gone!

Great - glad it's sorted. Again it is useful feedback as the plugin ideally should pick up that it isn't a local address and complain about it. :)
