Problem to connect my second PC

[erosoft]

Hi, im getting crazy to connect me second Mediacenter to the phone.

I already use it without any problem on my First PC, it still connect to this IP
192.168.1.129:63187

The second one is 192.168.1.130 and i tried to connect but nothing, i used a different port (Of course same port on MCC server and android APP)... but nothing... App keep trying to connect without connection.

I tried to configure firewall from the server, but nothing, so I disabled firewall and still nothing.

I think there is something wrong on my second PC i guess. But i really don't know what else to try.

Any idea?

I also have the same problem.

I can connect to my first PC no problems. The second PC does not s\connect no mater what I've tried. MCC find both computers when I hit the find computer button. But it will not connect to the second computer, it just sites there trying to connect but it eventually times out.

I've tried re-installing everything (mcc and all the network drivers).

What can I do? what do you neeed to know to help debug?

ok a bit more,

this is weird.

I can't ping my second Pc from my tablet (ASUS TF30). The IP address is 192.168.1.101.  MCC can find it when you do a search for computers (it reports the IP addres) , but I can't ping it, how is that possible??

Hi, have you tried to change the default network port? In most cases this helps with connection problems.

Yep, that was the first thing I tried.

How does mcc discover computers?

[lopez1_de]

MCC sends a network broadcast to the subnet. The MCC service reacts on that broadcast and sends a TCP answer to the client. It looks like the connection to the service (and the computer in general) works. But the connection to the server can't be established.

Do you have more than one network interface in your computer. Maybe LAN and Wifi together or something?

[sharman]

ok, that makes sense,

I don't have a second interface, I used to have a usb wifi dongle on there. Will check if it is still configured (even though it's not connected)

was this ever resolved? I have a win 7 media server connected by cable to the wifi router .. it is detected  by MCC but cant connect .. just stays on "connecting to xyz"

What happens if you start the server manualy and then connect? Maybe just the automatic startup isn't working.
