Hi Jeroen,
I'm also having problems connecting my machine to Netfabb. I can tell you we're not the only ones struggling with that... There appears to be a problem with firmwares. It depends on the firmware you use on your Ultimaker. The standard 5D firmware that comes with new Ultimakers cannot connect to Netfabb afaik.
Through ReplicatorG the following firmwares are available
5D
Sprinter
Marlin build 1
Marlin build 2
Marlin build 3
As far as I know only Sprinter (?) and Marlin build 1 will connect to Netfabb. I only had some success when connecting to Netfabb with Marlin Build 1.
Since Marlin build 1 has some issues I stayed with Marlin Build 2 which I feel is the best firmware available yet. Marlin Build 2 is the only firmware version that didn't give me any problems at all... It cannot connect to Netfabb on Marlin Build 2 though which is a shame. I would have expected Netfabb to be able to connect to the Ultimaker at all times but unfortunately it can't...
For now I produce most of my Gcodes through Netfabb and send the gcodes through ReplicatorG. That's a good workaround but I would have expected Netfabb to print directly.
