HD-ID11 Wireless Networking Issues - angrycamel - 2010-10-18 I have been posting over in the Zbox thread but since my problem seems to be pretty specific to me, I figured I would make a new thread for it. I really hope someone can help me figure this one out as it's driving me a little crazy I've got XBMCFreak running off of a 4GB Patriot USB stick right now. I have everything working except for the wireless. At first my problem with connecting wireless appeared to be related to the signal strength of the internal wireless card so I installed a USB Wifi dongle. That is installed and configured now but I still am not connecting through XBMC. I am able to go to the console and ping any site with success. I even used cURL to pull down a couple URLs just to make sure everything was configured properly for the wireless dongle (I used wicd-curses to configure the connection) and it worked fine. The problem comes when I switch back to the XBMC interface and it cannot see anything on the web or the local network. The log says cURL is returning a type 6 error (cannot resolve host) when trying to load the weather and feed urls. Code: 23:27:51 T:2994469744 M:1954156544 INFO: WEATHER: Downloading weather A similar issue when I try to add an SMB source to the videos section Code: 23:28:50 T:3079456640 M:1936887808 DEBUG: OnKey: 61453 pressed, action is Select Oddly enough I cannot SSH into the machine (from Putty on my XP machine) either while it is connected via wireless. I can SSH to localhost through the console so it is running. Putty gives me a message saying "Network error: Connection timed out" When I switch from wireless to a wired connection everything works fine. Help! I am at my wits end with this thing! Edit: Added wireless environment info My router is a modem/router provided to me by Verizon for the FiOS internet service. I am connected using WPA2 security. - angrycamel - 2010-10-19 I've been thinking that I must be missing a network setting in XBMC or something since I can see the internet from the console. So is there a setting in one of the config files that tells XBMC which networking interface to use? Thanks in advance. - angrycamel - 2010-10-19 I reposted this in the linux support forum. An admin can likely delete this since it's not realy a hardware issue anymore apparently. Here is a link to the support forum post. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=83515 |
