Make sure you choose the correct Ethernet connection from the list on the left of 
the window. Some macs have more than one ethernet port so choose the right 
one !!

FOR BOTH PC and MAC make sure that you SAVE or APPLY the settings before 
exiting the menu's. You might need to restart the Pluto GUI application after 
making any changes.

Also for both MAC and PC computers you need to make sure that any firewall or 
security software is either disabled or configured correctly to allow 
communication.
