#1145 I am offline for all users - All users are offline to me - with time one after another comes online for me

[Anonymous]

Hello,

we have installed BeeBEEP in our office (around 20 workstations).

Every day or so, my BeeBEEP does not show that I am online, and I cannot see my colleagues online either. Sometimes it works again after a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours.

I have followed the instructions, clicked on “Search,” and tested the configuration (IP address and port) with my colleagues. No problems were found. After I check the connection manually as described in your FAQ, the member is shown as online and is receiving my messages.

The following entries repeatedly appear in the logs:
2026-03-03 11:34:56 Broadcaster sends multicast datagram to ...

Can you help me in this case? (We don´t use the windows Firewall)

kind regards
