I have an original Axe-FX II and MFC-101, two different midi cables one of them relatively new. Every time I set up my system, the midi connection doesn't work and I get the timeout error. It takes 2-3 tries of unplugging/replugging the midi cable, trying another, flipping the cable around. I always get it working eventually, but it seems to be getting progressively worse and i's very frustrating to have to keep going through this process. Not sure if I have a bad connection in one of the midi jacks, bad cables, or what. I've also never got the ethernet connection to work since I bought it... tried several different ethernet cables. Not sure if I need a special cable, or maybe the previous owner fried the port somehow?
