I've been trying to get this working for hours with no joy...

I have installed XBMC 12.3 on my Windows 8.1 laptop and am trying to configure the official XBMC remote control for Android

My XBMC Host info is as follows :
Name : Laptop
Host or IP address : 192.168.0.3
HTTP API port : 8082
Username : xbmc
Password : xbmc
EventServer port : 9777

If I enter 192.168.0.3:8082 directly in the browser I am asked to login and it all works as expected.

For some reason the remote app will never connect Any ideas or tips on how to get it working?

I am having this same issue, getting the Socket TImeout on my Android Galaxy S4. XBMC is on my windows 7 pc. you state the issue was firewall...can you tell me exactly what you did to resolve this? Are you referring to my pc firewall or my Galaxy s4 firewall?
