Why am I having problems with QuickConference with wireless networking and multi-homing under Mac OS X?
A. QuickConference has difficulty communicating with its server when on an Airport™ or other wireless network under certain conditions. These conditions center around having your laptop (typically) set up for use on multiple networks (airport, modem, ethernet, etc); this is called “multi-homing.” Multi-homing is a necessity for users who take their laptops to and from work or on the road with them, and a little bit of prep work will allow these users to still use QuickConference. The simple solution is to only have one network defined in System Preferences:Network pane. (see figure 1 below) Simple, but not very practical since you’d have to redefine your modem and ethernet connections every time you wanted to use one of them rather than Airport.
