Connection issue?

Yeah airplane mode on my Desire only disables the mobile voice and data connections. Not WLAN.

If anyone else comes across this problem, try resetting/restarting your router. Did the trick for me just now

I also gets the same fail code I/O Exception (java.net.SocketException) No route to host, when I press power on button. Everything else works fine, thank you very much for that. Mac address and bios settings should be ok since I can start the computer from a different android app.

ver. 0.8.4 beta 1

Thanks everyone for helping me out. I have the G-2 HTC Android and was having a multitude of issues and these posts all helped out.

I'm using Norton Internet Security 2011 on a Windows 7 platform. I had several problems:

Firewall: I learned through this posting that I needed open Norton and use the "add rule wizard" settings > network settings > Smart Firewall > Configure and follow the prompts, and used the my local network and chose the port 8080 after looking at the tables to make sure something wasn't already occupying the port.

Side Note: I was using the most current version of XBMC, and downloaded the stable version. Previously I was able to connect with an I4Phone without as much trouble, but was plagued by the gap in the documentation transition from the old version to the new. The Enable Web-server was a real time killer.

Wireless network from my computer: Some commands that came in handy
ipconfig /release ----- releases your currently assigned IP Address
ipconfig /renew ---- renews your IP Address, but you can be assigned the address that you had previously
ipconfig /all ---- shows all of your IP settings
ipconfig ? ---- generates the help command and displays all ipconfig options

Once you use these commands, double check your IPV4 address using C:/ipconfig /all

The problem ultimately was the Android was seeking a connection and not maintaining it. I discovered his by choosing my Android Settings > Wireless & Network > WiFi settings and then noticed the Android was rhythmically seeking and both connecting and disconnecting

This was very strange as I have a very strong connection and am using a D-Link DIR-655 just 5 feet away. I severed the connection to the network to the Android, then reconnected (WPA2-PSK). After that, I was able to connect and now it works like a charm.

Enabling Web-server: Thank you so much for explaining this as well.

I don't know if anyone reads these, but it think it would be most helpful if someone would update the new version.

System > Network > Allow Control of XBMC via HTTP

Change to "Allow Control of XBMC via HTTP/Enable Webserver"

A short term work around would be to include a notation to this effect in

I apologize for the length and detail of this post, and am just hoping to help someone out if the above posts don't get them resoltion.

I have been through EVERY video and post and no one seems to be talking about the newest XBMC version 10 software. I have followed all protocols, changed every variable in both the program and remote (putting my CompTIA certifications to the test,lol!). Ok so here's what I got, tell me where I'm going horribly wrong...

Windows 7 home premium x64 on a toshiba satellite P505-S8980

Windows firewall only (tcp and udp 8080 9777 both forwarded)

Linksys E1000 N wireless router (which linksys doesn't even have support for in many programs including slingplayer...don't get me started...)

newest version of XBMC remote on my Moto Droid (Android version 2.2.1)

XBMC remote version v0.8.4-beta1 Build: Revision 703

XBMC for windows version 10.0

I keep getting " I/O Exception (java.net.SocketException) No route to host "

I can't get the webgui to pull up under any of my internet browsers (safari,firefox,IE,chrome,or opera)

can't get it to pull up under my phone either, but all other websites work.

gmote works fine on my computer and phone, so does the vlc remote app for control and streaming...

It's such an amazing app, and I think I can get Blu-Ray support which turns my laptop into my media center for the 16 monitors and tvs in my house (Say hello to the uber nerd!) Please help me find the process I'm missing.

i have tried everything i can think of and surfed the forum for the same problem i got and nothing works to fix my remote well the remote parts works still its the now playing and anything other than remote buttons that dont first it was i try to pull up my library and it would tell me socket time out now its connection refused ports are forwarded even though no need to considering a little while ago everything on remote worked and ports werent forwarded then im using latest updates maybe that is problem i dont know but not to long ago i had to reset my phone since a keyboard app wiped out my skype one all together then is when remote gave me probs new phone with 2.2.1 update

Having the same issues. When i go to http://<xbmc>:<port>/remote I get the login screen actually but once i log in it says file not found.

Well I only payed with this app for a short time since it is not really want I was looking for (I have a remote already for my xbmc and this does not allow me to carry a list of my movies with me). I started getting the IO error but that was because I forgot I already had an application running on port 8080. you may want to look up netstat and see if something is already using that port. if so try a different one.

Thanks,
SoBBie

PS to all playing with this... it is not a good idea to port forward from external unless you know what you are doing. most people will leave there log on as xbmc/xbmc or no password at all. if people portscan for 9777 or 8080 they would be able to log into your library... and from there, who knows

Easiest fix for me was deleting the MAC Address from all '0's to a blank space, worked right away.
