I get a "Failed to Connect - Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at hda. " error from all machines in the Lan, after I installed the new alpha release. Samba is working and I am pretty sure DHCP/DNS is also. There seemed to be no problem during installation, package installer said installation was successful. I tried rebooting, but that did not help. Any suggestions?

sorry to hear that.

how many of these are true?

can you do these in this order:

• ping hda, in the HDA itself?
• ping yahoo.com from your HDA itself?
• ping hda from a client?
• ping yahoo.com from a client?

hi cpg

I can ping hda, in the HDA itself?
I can ping yahoo.com from the HDA itself?
I can ping hda from a client?
I can ping yahoo.com from a client?

hmm looks like your DNS services are running.
to make sure you can check this by issuing the following command: it should give you status OK. if not, you can change the word status to start and the service will start.

to be completely sure, check on a client which DNS server is being used.
on linux: on windows (in a dos window (start > run > cmd)): make sure that in both cases you see the IP address of your HDA as at least 1 of your DNS servers.

Possibly your router still serves DNS request for your LAN.

sorry - i should have updated the thread.

gjc1000 came by the irc and we determined that he had a webapp that had a directory not quite installed properly - part of it was also bug #37.

we fixed that. we also noticed some issues with his static ip addresses not quite well defined. we also found a more serious bug, bug #38, in the alpha code.
we fixed that and released a new alpha release.

we're having some glitches with app uninstallers in the newest code that we're working out now ...
