I have been unable to get this to work. New windows laptop, installed latest software from site. Mac is a mid 2015 powerbook running MacOS 12.7.1 with download of your client software today. The log messages are:

I have a similar setup i use for testing and it has no issues. So im wondering if there is a firewall issue.  I notice when i start the virtualhere windows server it will ask if it can "Use the network?" I assume you said yes to that, (that is request generated by Windows).  

Anyway if it still fails, in the client you can right click USB Hubs->Specify Hubs and put in the IP address of the Windows server.

Put in the IP address of 192.168.12.92, still did not connect. System messages are:

Added VirtualHere to firewall listing of acceptable apps. Rebooted and restarted Virtual here. Still will not connect.
