LAN connection not detected by Connect Performer

yes - and it shows the correct IP as usual - just doesn’t connect - gives an error as described

also randomly gave another “incompatible version” error - they are all on 4.0.42.240 - then it wrote that on the bottom of the screen where it normally says “connected to Musi”

attempting to connect on a Mac client (4.0.42.240) over the LAN didn’t work either - fell over rather spectacularly with a crash on the performer side (and a dump - which I didn’t save !)

was all working fine last time I tried - a few versions ago.
