Single user, two-computer Version Cue setup. (Desktop/laptop.) Based on advice in these forums, installed Version Cue on the laptop but NOT on the desktop, as my laptop is always networked to my desktop if I'm at home using my desktop.

Have started having problems when using my laptop away from my desktop.

Everything will look fine, all files Synchronized in Bridge. and will double-click on one of the files in Bridge and bring it up in Illustrator. After editing a bit, will find that there seems to be a pause (hourglass for 30 seconds or so) and then, when I try to "Save a Version" in Illustrator, I get an error message:

"The project "Mercy-Orders-DEM" could not be contacted.

(This is the only project I have right now, in fact.)

If I look in Bridge, all files are now listed as "offline copy."

When this happened, I tried turning Version Cue on and off, turning it off and rebooting, going into Version Cue administrtion and removing the locks (two files that I had been editing were locked), but all to no avail.

However, when I hooked up my laptop to my network at home... and remember, the laptop is the server and the desktop is just a client without Version Cue installed... then the laptop starts working correctly.

Given how I was led to believe that Version Cue works, this makes no sense at all. Any enlightment will be gratefully welcomed. I am considering using Version Cue for a number of projects but my experience thus far has not been promising.
