I have tried off and on to set up remote controls for XBMC for almost a year now on both my iPad 2 and android phone with no success. I installed Constellation on my ipad a few months ago and couldn't get it to work got frustrated and uninstalled it. today I decided to try again.
first off networking isn't my strongest area. so are my specs.
I have the latest Eden build installed on win 7 64bit system. I'm running avast for antivirus and firewall. I have a belkin N wireless router. I set up virtual servers for ports 8080 and 9777 the private IP address is set for the system that I am running XBMC on . I keep getting the error on the ipad to check IP/Host, It is correct ip of the system running XBMC. I check the XBMC interface and it is running .
in Constellation my settings are
pc's ip address listed in XBMC
port 8080
username XBMC
eventserver on (I've tried on and off)
everything else is the default
the rest of my settings
The XBMC settings are
router settings :
firewall setting in avast
