I have a Client/ Server setup running on the same computer (connected via a symbolic link). For example when I start/open the Server process then open the Client process, the Client process opens within the server process or vice versus. Therefore if you open the Client process first and then the Server, you can't see anything, as the Server doesn't have any devices, just a few blank control panels. I have another setup similar that I programmed a few years back and both the Client and the Server open in there own instances.
What to do?
