Hello! This is my first thread in this forum, so if it's not the right place to ask the question, please excuse me.
I have an LTech ArtNet-DMX-2 (a 2-universe node)
https://ltech-led.eu/en/artnet-dmx-ligh ... dmx-2.html

I configured with my laptop running Windows 10. I use it perfectly with Freestyler but when I change to QLC+ the signal cuts constantly. I tried to change the IP Configuration from my laptop, another version of the program and also tried with another computer and the same error occurred. I send you some images of my configuration. If you don't mind I would like you to see them in case I was making a mistake with the config.

Thank you!

QLC+ is sending Artnet to .255 <- this should be .0
Your address is wrong

Thank you for answering GGGss. I changed the IP number on QLC+ but the lights still going crazy. They recived the DMX signal but they recived false DMX values (I mean, the spots turn on randomly, the moving heads can't be freeze, etc).
My node has two potenciometers (one for Subnet and other for Universe). I have booth on "0". I think my node is alright because on Freestyler it work perfectly, so I think I making a mistake on QLC or in Windows config.

Thanks for reporting back.

So now we have a new problem: flickering lights.
DMX timing is off, Asian cheap fixtures, ... dmx refresh frequency ...
Many many reasons which don't have anything to do with Artnet or QLC+.
There are many topics here describing faulty timing.

Yes, the light are flickering. But the strange part is that they work well with Freestyler and also with ONYX, so I don't know what could go wrong. I will move to Freestyler definitely... Thank you for your answer!
