My Mac, Ventura OS, doesn't appear to be registering my Dwarf in the network

[AndyP]

The Dwarf arrived today and even though I bought it as new it appears to be a used/exdemo one. The shop reimbursed me some cash when I told them but I can’t help wondering if it’s a faulty unit.

I’ve looked through the wiki but the network window in the guide is an older OS type so vastly different to what I see.

To be honest, I’m not awfully great with network type stuff so I may be user error. I’ve tried a different USB cable but that didn’t help.

I’m also unable to get on to the gui site, which I suspect is due to the Dwarf not being registered on the network, but I am a total newb so…?!

Any help would be really appreciated. It’s given me a proper headache this afternoon!

Oh, I’ve looked through previous posts and I can’t see any similar Mac based issues.

Cheers

one thing i’ve noticed recently with my mac (2018 mac mini, ventura 13.6.1) is that connecting to the MOD GUI needs either

http://moddwarf.local
OR
http://192.168.51.1

– NOT –

https://moddwarf.local
OR
https://192.168.51.1

…and ventura seems to want to auto-correct to https, which will fail.

…oh, and to check that the machine sees the Dwarf, go to System Settings, click on Network, and you should see Dwarf Ethernet near the top of the list on the right in that window.

I answered it on the other topic

Hi @AndyP

Sorry to hear about the purchase experience. Which shop was it?

We have not shipped Dwarf units to UK dealers for a long time, so the unit is likely a return.

And as it might be a return, it is likely that the USB mode is set to Windows, which is not the default mode.

You can fix it following these instructions: Dwarf Device Settings - MOD Wiki

Let me know if that helps

And welcome!!

Ah, so I need to manually remove the ‘s’? Thanks, @plutek!

I can’t seem to see it in the network but it looks like help might be below.

[AndyP]

Sorry, @gianfranco. I realise after that there was a better place to post my issue.

The shop was, Music Street in Huntingdon. I’d not used them before.

I’ll try that in the morning… fingers crossed!

Thanks for your help!

@AndyP

manually remove the ‘s’?

maybe. try just typing either 192.168.51.1 or moddwarf.local in the URL bar… but if it doesn’t connect to the GUI, confirm that the browser bar says “Not Secure” or has the unlocked symbol, or whatever is the non-secure indication for your particular browser, then explicitly type http:// if that’s not the case.

however, none of that’s going to matter if the Dwarf doesn’t show up in network settings… once you get that going, hopefully it should Just Work!!

[AndyP]

That worked, @gianfranco! Thank you for your help with this.It’s very much appreciated.

[AndyP]

Thanks, @plutek. Once I tried @gianfranco’s suggestion to change the settings (it had been set up for Windows) I was able to access the gui just fine.
Cheers, mate

did you try this?

[teddybutter]

Yes, I tried that. It’s been working for a long time. Not sure why it stopped.

[gianfranco]

when you plug via USB and go to System Settings > Network, do you see the “Dwarf Ethernet” service, like here?

[teddybutter]

no, I deleted it as per some other instructions on this forum and it never came back. sadly.

[gianfranco]

with the Dwarf connected via USB and turned on, press the 3 dots on the bottom right side and click “Add Service”

The connection should be there

[teddybutter]

it’s not showing up
