Remote Share: Network is not connected

sergiobzh Wrote:Hi
just for information , I got exactly the same problem : network OK when setting up an uPNP share but I Got "network is not connected" when reading this share.

The solution is also OK for me : relaunch XBMC without rebooting Apple TV !
It means XBMC must be launched twice for network access OK ?

Yes, your solution works.

I also use wired connection and I have to launch XBMC twice after each Apple TV reboot or NAS reboot for XBMC detects my smb shared folders and my UPNP server.

Note: update ssh to fix wifi problem and trouble persist.

Thanks.

OK, good, I'm not crazy. Here I finally got the ability to SSH in after successfully jailbreaking about 10 times with GP RC6, and then this happens. But the quit and restart solution does work. For me, wireless works with no difficulty, wired requires a restart. Also, for whatever reason I can SSH in over the wireless but not over the wired connection. Very strange.

Bizarrely, I have the exact opposite problem. I can only SSH into the ATV2 when hard wired into my network.

I have seen problems when people incorrectly configured their network when their router and wireless access points are not the same unit. They essentially have two subnets going on their LAN and it prevent connection when one device is connected to wired while the connecting client tries via wireless. Or vice versa.

Not saying this is your issue, but just putting it out there in case it is.

If this wasn't a sudden development, I might be more inclined to agree with you.

Uninstalling nitotv solved the smb share and wifi problems for me.

For me, I add smb server once.. Can play from that server once and then I can't connect again. Only sometimes does restarting xbmc help. Also, I ran a ps3 upnp media server on my Mac (to try to stop a consistent buffeting issue). I was able to locate it once.. Add it. Play movies from it. After a reboot.. It doesn't see it on the network anymore.

When I can't connect to the smb server.. I can go into add source and find it... But then when I try to open the folder it says can't connect.

Getting extremely frustrated with this, although I am patient and understand its in it's infancy. Just wish I could know for certain when it's going to work and not work!

I have turned all firewalls off on both my computer and router.

People who are experiencing this.. Are you on Mac or win?

I'm on an iMac.

Tried again today, did absolutely nothing different and it worked!

It seems temperamental at best...

How did you uninstall NitoTV?

apt-get remove com.nito.nitotv

With that said, the SMB share problem for me is solved by simply exiting XBMC and restarting, as said earlier.
