Can't connect to MPD over local network - control [solved]

I have a laptop running Arch Linux. I recently purchased an O2 Joggler, and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a USB drive for it (AWESOME, btw). My idea was to use the joggler as a remote control for my laptop, which is often running MPD to listen to my music collect (I'm also using it for light browser etc.)
However, my setup just now isn't allowing me this. Here are some configs that will hopefully help the diagnosis
mpd.conf:
music_directory "/home/iain/Music" # Your music dir.
playlist_directory "/home/iain/.mpd/playlists"
db_file "/home/iain/.mpd/db"
log_file "/home/iain/.mpd/mpd.log"
error_file "/home/iain/.mpd/mpd.error"
pid_file "/home/iain/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "/home/iain/.mpd/mpdstate"
user "iain"
port "6666"
bind_to_address "any"
#password "mpd@read,add,control"
default_permissions "read,add,control"
log_level "verbose"
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "Sound Card"
options "dev=dmixer"
device "plug:dmixer"
format "48000:16:2"
mixer_type "alsa"
# mixer_device "default"
# mixer_control "Alpha"
#auto_resample "no"
/etc/hosts.allow:
# /etc/hosts.allow
#ALL:ALL:ALL
MPD: ALL
# End of file
/etc/hosts.deny:
# /etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL: DENY
# End of file
I'm trying to connect FROM my joggler to my laptop which is running MPD. The laptop's local IP is 192.168.1.70.
I know how awesomely useful the Arch user on these forums are (I've need the help A LOT in the past), so I'm hoping one of you clever lot can help me holmes' this problem.
Thanks,

A hint to open a port
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 0/0 --dport <portno> -j ACCEPT.   with the port number for eg 8600 is used to open up the mpd streaming for me.(in arno firewall script you can set these in custom.rules. The rules may differ in your case. A search will give tons of options.

  • Can't connect to FMS from local network machine

    Hi,
    I have done the FMS developer setup on one machine say 100.188.34.28 and accessing the media from third server, modified the VOD_DIR . I was able to stream the flv video till yesterday using the rtmp i.e rtmp://100.188.34.28:1935/vod/sample.
    But today I am not able to do the rtmp streaming on the same and other machine on the same network.
    I am able to ping the machine(100.188.34.28) and telnet(telnet 100.188.34.28 1935) the machine also. But not able to stream the video using rtmp.
    Please let me know if I am missing anything?
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    This post is similar to the post http://forums.adobe.com/message/137559.
    If we uninstall the FMS server and install it again then it resolves the issue, we will be able to stream using rtmp. This is not feasible to uninstall the FMS everytime and setup the files again to point to the third server to access the media.
    Anyone please suggest to resolve this issue?

  • CS3 slow over local network

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 2.33GHZ Core 2 Duo w/2GB RAM.
    Websites are shared from a Windows XP machine using normal
    built in file sharing.
    In Dreamweaver CS3, opening a document takes a while. And
    once it's open and everything looks good, I can click on an image
    and count out 2 seconds before the image actually highlights. Click
    on another image or in a table cell to type text, and it's another
    two seconds.
    This site website, copied to my own hard drive, responds as
    fast as it should - near instant.
    The website and images aren't large by any means, 43k with
    HTML, images, and css. It seems weird that it'd be slower over the
    network than locally. Once Dreamweaver has the document open and
    everything loaded, just selecting different elements shouldn't take
    a performance hit.
    I didn't have this problem with Dreamweaver 8.
    Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • Can't connect to my home WiFi network

    I'm using a linksys router and using WEP security. The iphone can see my network, but when I enter the password it tells me I can't connect. I can't seem to make the phone forget the network so that I can start over.
    Any help would be appreciated

    I have the same problem. I can't connect to any password protected networks. I type in the correct password, but I'm unable to login. I don't have the option for the iphone to forget the network, because I've never been able to log in and therefore there is nothing to forget. The option doesn't even come up. Is anyone else having this problem? It is this way for 2 different networks.

    Every time I introduce the WPA2 passwords I can´t connect. I can only connect to open wi fi networks? Does anyone know why? Thanks

    Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
    Step 1
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 2
    Reset the System Management Controller

  • Can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously

    I can't connect Airport Express wirelessly to network so that AirTunes and internet are available simultaneously.  My old AE allowed this but can't make the new one work that way. 

    In your instructions, you say to use the same encryption type as the router has set up. well, I am using the WEP 64 bit encryption and the Airport Utility does not have this...it has 40 bit. Is this a problem, or do I have to be using a the same type of encrytion ?
    WEP is available in either 40 or 104-bit, but is usually "advertised" as either 64- or 128-bit respectively. For example, 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key (also known as WEP-40), which is concatenated with a 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit RC4 traffic key. So, WEP 64 on the Linksys & 40-bit is equivalent.
    What concerns me more is the loss of bandwidth performance you are experiencing when connecting the AX. When the AX is configured as a wireless client it is acting just like any other wireless devices (computer, laptop, printer, etc.) and not like another router. This should cause little or no bandwidth loss. True the more secure the wireless encryption used WPA2 vs. WEP, the more overhead is required for security, but the differences you are seeing seem excessive.
    It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the immediate area that is preventing your Linksys from providing a good clean signal.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like the following to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible:
    For Macs:
    o MacStumbler
    o iStumbler, or
    For PCs:
    o NetStumbler

  • Can't connect to any secure WiFi network. Help...!

    Hello,
    I am unable to connect to any secure wifi network. Using iPhone 5, Model : MD300B/A, Software : 6.1.4 (10B350). Whenever I try to connect to any secure wifi network, it says password incorrect. But it connects fine with unsecured networks. Double checked the same secure networks with my iPad and it works fine. Tried reseting the network settings and all settings. Updated to latest firmware (6.1.4). Still not working.
    Please help.

  • Connecting to mpd over the Internet (outside home network) - error

    I'm trying to connect to an mpd instance running on my home computer from my computer at work.  I have an OpenVPN server at home, and so I can securely connect to my home network from work.  I've set up a second instance of mpd and icecast at home, and I'm trying to connect to this at work.  I can connect to the extent of being able to pull my library, playlist info over, but I can't actually seem to play anything.
    When I look at the mpd error messages, I find:
    shout_output: Failed to open "exelion HD mpd stream" [shout]: problem opening connection to shout server localhost:8000: Login failed
    output: Failed to open audio output
    I'm trying to connect using Cantata (which I use at home and like). 
    Things I've played with:
    originally in my mpd config I had:
    user "source"
    I tried commenting that out and just letting mpd use whatever the default user is, but that didn't seem to help.
    The other thing I wonder about but haven't tried is different settings for "admin-user" in the icecast config.
    I currently have
    <admin-user>my-home-usernamer</admin-user>
    .  Should I change this to "admin"?  Does it matter? 
    The passwords match between the mpd and icecast configs.

    Foucault wrote:Just in case you are not aware of it, MPD has built-in HTTP streaming to mp3/ogg/whatever. Unless you need any of the more advanced Icecast features, just use the httpd audio_output and get done with it.
    Thanks. I didn't know that. But that seems much easier.  I tried this, but I'm still having trouble.  From the mpd server I get the following report:

  • IPhone no longer connects to my computer over local network through apps

    I've been trying to fix this for months. I've worked with technology and Apple computers for three years. I am by no means an expert but you can believe me when I say I've tried all the basics.
    I first noticed the problem using FullControl. I liked to use this first thing in the morning. One morning it wouldn't connect, "Error: Connection error (22)." I hadn't updated or changed anything. I actually put my computer to sleep the night before using the app! I was on the local network. My computer was running the helper. My computer was showing up as a device in the app. But it would not connect. I figured something was wrong with the app.
    So I opened up Splashtop 2. My iMac showed up in my list but with a satelite icon informing me it was not connecting on the local network. I was still on my wifi as was my computer. I used it earlier that week.
    I checked out the support pages for both apps. I updated everything. I turned off, on, and checked the connections for my firewall. I turned off my security applications and followed guides to remedy blocks they might cause. Nothing worked.
    I checked Apple discussions and found people having similar issues but no one had a fix. A few found success but nothing worked for me.
    A few days later I went to use my Remote app. My iTunes Library showed up in the local devices but it would not connect, "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again." I checked. Tried again. "Could not find [my] Library." I went back to the devices and connected to my Apple TV 2 instantly. I tried connecting my iMac with the Apple TV and found no issues. Each communicated with the other fine. I tried to connect Remote to my iTunes again but it failed.
    I verified and repaired my permissions. I thought the "SUID... ARDAgent.app... [permission] has been modified and will not be repaired" could've been the problem but Apple and these Discussions assure me that this is normal and not a problem.
    I recently downloaded Air Playit and ran into the same problem. I set it up on my computer following the instructions. I opened the app. The app showed my computer as a "Computer on Local Network" but when I tried to connect to server, "Connect Server Failed: Cannot connect the server, check the IP, Port and try again." I did and it didn't connect.
    Save for this new app, everything worked before. Nothing has worked since that morning FullContol failed (including the new app).
    Is there an answer out there?!

    I saw that the program was blocking attempts to connect and took the address off the Blocked list. I instantly connected through everything again. It turned out to be a major oversight and easy fix!
    If anyone else is having similar issues, check your AntiVandal software and make sure your devices are not being blocked.

  • I can see my laptop on the local network, but cannot connect to it

    I run my MacBook Pro on a couple of different local networks, at work and at home. When on another computer on the network, I can see the MacBook in the Shared section of the Finder, but when I try to connect to it, it just hangs. An external party who used to be able to connect to my computer for troubleshooting our business software (using a program called Timbuktu) can no longer connect to my laptop either. When on the MacBook however, I can see and connect to other Shared computers without a problem. I have File Sharing enabled. Is there a security preference I am missing somewhere?

  • Copying itunes library from Mac to Windows over Local Network

    I am a recent switcher. When I first got my MacBook I connected my Windows formatted iPod to the MacBook to transfer my purchased iTunes music, and everything worked fine.
    Now I want to transfer the iTunes music folder from my Mac to a PC (both Vista and XP) over my local network. However, when I try to do this I get the following error message:
    Error 0x800700FE: The specified extended attribute name was invalid.
    I get the same error message if I try to transfer the individual music folders (eg Oasis).
    I have no trouble transferring the folders for song/albums that I have subsequently downloaded to the Mac from iTunes. I only have the problem with the music I originally transferred from the iPod.
    I have been trying to research extended attributes to see if I can edit this, but it all goes over my head. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    i'm also a new Mac user (Vista did the trick , and i found this article on the Apple support website.
    Below information can also be used to do the inverse... Mac to PC.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302392
    It explains how to do a backup to CD/DVD. When you have a large library, multiple DVD's will be used.
    It tried it out with a portion of my lib, burned a backup with my PC, and imported it on my MacBook. Works great! All but last played information is copied over...
    Even Podcast, Movies etc are taken into account, also music not residing within the iTunes folder. After the restore on Mac, everything is properly placed within the iTunes folder you assigned.
    Enjoy,

  • Over local network file copying stays at Zero Bytes...

    I am not sure what section to put this under or what is causing the problem.  It seems I cant access files over my home network any more.
    My wife has a 2.4 c2d Macbook running 10.7.2, I have a 2.4 c2d iMac running 10.7.2, and we use an AirPort Extreme base station.
    She has a user set up on my computer so she can connect over the network.  File sharing and Print sharing are enabled.  She has been added to the external drive with the files on it as a read only user.  Everything has worked well until very recently.
    First Playback, the program I use for uPnP streaming to my xbox, ceases to function.  To the best I can find, that is due to a change in how the xbox requests files since a recent update.  Not an apple problem but it did spur me to use a more direct approach: Plug the laptop to the television and open the file via my wife's macbook.  After connecting to my imac over the local wireless network and browsing to the file, I first attempted to directly open the video.  This method has worked well in the past.  I took about 5 minutes before quicktime launched.  Quicktime did report the run time of the video but failed to ever display any frames and effectively froze.  I shut down the macbook, rebooted.  This time after browsing to the file I attempted to copy it over the network to her computer.  This resulted in finder making it so far as to actually say Copying the file but the progress remained at Zero Bytes and the progress bar never resized.  After 10 minutes like this, I canceled that transfer and waited until that process closed.  I chose another file that had a thumbnail instead of the quicktime icon in hopes of better compatability.  The quick look preview began to spiral and I got the rainbow wheel as a cursor.  I never got the oportunity to begin to attempt the new file.  I had to reboot the macbook again to stop that process.
    Placing the original file on a usb stick and then again on her computer has allowed me to open the file on both machines.
    When I first switched from windows, fixing these types of issues often confused me as I looked for the complex windowsesque settings and options.  I often miss the simple and obvious way to fix most mac problems.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
