General Questions

Is Schick 4.0 compatible with prior versions?

A: No, since the 4.0-rewrite of the whole networking code Schick is incompatible with 1.x, 2.x and 3.x versions.

Does it support IPv6?

A: Yes!

Debugging

Is there another way to turn debug logging on than enabling it in the preferences window?

A: As of 4.3, yes there is. Just hold down the command key on launch. It will be automatically turned off again on quit. Log file can be found in ~/Library/Logs/Schick.log.

Schick can't find the other Macs in the network! (Help! Mac A can "see" Mac B, but Mac B can't "see" Mac A)

Answer 1

Please check with Tildesofts Bonjour Browser! If it also doesn't show any peers, it's most likely your WiFi doesn't support multicasts the way it should. This happened to Heiko too, and he solved it by installing a firmware update and enabling multicast and IGMP Snoop[1] on his TP-Link Router. Unfortunately it didn't work for long...WiFi & Bonjour seems to be a bit of a problem. I hate to admit it: Cheap WiFi Access Points are just crap. If you want to use Bonjour over WiFi, buy a good one (Cisco, Ubiquiti)!

Answer 2

Please try again over Ethernet, and if that works out, make sure your WiFi supports Bonjour...

Answer 3

Switch to Ethernet. No, really. Your Bonjour-related problems (with Schick, Airprint, iTunes Sharing etc.) will be gone!

Answer 4

If you can't or don't want to switch to Ethernet, try adding your peers manually instead of using Bonjour. See Schick 4.0 Add By Address.

Answer 5

It might be caused by a haywired firewall setting. Just remove all incoming connection connections, stop your firewall, reboot, start your firewall.

Usage

How do I add a peer that is not reachable by Bonjour?

(If it's in another subnet, or Bonjour doesn't work properly)

Use the "Add by address…"-feature as described here
