Problems connecting over wi-fi

Postby maui9111 » Fri Jul 09, 2010 2:27 pm

Right now, I can only connect to the network over my 3G connection. When I login to "myname".subsonic.org, under network settings it shows that I am successfully port forwarding and my web address is successfully registered. Why would it work with 3g, but give me a network error when connected to my home wi-fi? Any ideas?

I've notice that while in your internal network, you can't use your 'myname'.subsonic.org address because the client wants to resolve to the localhost on the hardware you are using. Use your internal NAT IP address to the server while you are at the location of the music server and your 'myname'.subsonic.org when you are away.

For example, when I'm in the office [that's where my subsonic box is], I use 192.168.x.x to log in. When I'm out of the office I use the 'myname'.subsonic.org address.

Thanks WIL,

That seemed to fix my problem, because after I tested the connection in the settings tab on my phone, it said it made a connection on my home network. But now I have a new problem. It forces close everytime I try to get to my music using wifi. I tried reinstalling the app and restarting my phone, but nothing has worked. Still works over the 3g connection though.

Force Close on WiFi

I haven't had that problem yet. A force close on WiFi but not on 3G is weird. Is your WiFi connection timing out? Are any of your other WiFi apps causing a force close?
