No DBus connection #40

I am using an Ethernet switch to connect all my raspberry pi's. Ive installed everything that has been listed on this tutorial as well as a couple of others i've found. I have synctest.mp4 running on my master, but my slave only runs it for 5 seconds, then repeats.

The IP's are different on my Pi's, the eth0 is static, but the netmask, destination, gateway, broadcast are all the same across my Pi's. I found this using ifconfig and netstat -nr.

I am getting an error on my Slave: Unable to get filename from Master. My Master error (not verbatim): Unable to make connection / no Dbus etc...

What is the proper address for an Ethernet Switch? Mine returns gateway 0.0.0.0 when I look at ifconfig and netstat -nr. I think this could be an issue.

Also I am on Jessie, which I read may be causing problems? I do not need to be connected to the internet, but is this necessary?

I ended up needing a router, not a switch. This solved my syncing problem.
