Minimwatch has stopped working since OSX El Capitan Update - leighton buzzard - 18-10-2015 09:08

As the topic says... Since installing OSX El Capitan on my Macbook, Minimwatch has stopped working. Any tips or advice on how to get things up and running again would be much appreciated.

Can you describe "stopped working" in sllightly more detail? For example, are you still seeng the minim icon on the menu bar?

Hi. Yes, the minim icon is still in the menu bar but it won't rescan. 'Properties', 'show log' & 'About' won't open. 'Stop', 'Restart' 'Refresh' & 'Close' do nothing. I've uninstalled and will re-install to see if that solves the problem.

It is probably a firewall permissions issue. In System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options, do you have MinimWatch listed as "Allow incoming connections"? If not, you need to add this setting.

If you already have this setting, you might have more than one active network adapter (real or virtual) on your Mac. In this case, MinimWatch might be choosing the wrong adapter. To confirm this, use Options > Show log (watch) to view the MinimWatch log, then look for a line in the log showing the active subnet value. The first three dotted numbers of this value should match the first three dotted numbers of the IP address of the machine that is running MinimServer.
