Amahi Forums

I have installed Amahi 2 weeks ago, and I really like it! However, I have not been able to get the HDAConnectClient to connect to my Amahi homeserver. I have opened the 1193-1195 ports (UDP) on the router (checked this with other software), but do get this error message:

I have also tried to conect with https://XXX.yourhda.com, as suggested in this forum. I do get a login screen, but the user/password is not accepted. Error:

What to do next?

Hi

You have not mentioned what OS you are using on the client PC? Also you do not mention which version of HDAconnect you are using, as i believe that Win 7 does not play well with HDAconnect2.

Cheers

Hi,

I use Windows XP (servicepack 3) on the client PC and version 3 of HDAConnect.

We have seen this with HDAC3, please install HDA Connect 2 and use it until we get this resolved.

http://dl.amahi.org/HDAConnect2.exe

I have installed HDA Connect 2, but there is no difference with HDAConnect 3, it stops at the same line as in the first post (see below).

Hi

You mentioned that you have opened the ports on your router, i assume that you have actually forwarded the ports to your Amahi server?

You are also trying to VPN in from outside of your home network?

TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

this most likely means that the port is not forwarded well and communication with the VPN server does not take place. You need three things

• Port 1194 open and forwarded
• UDP forwarded (not TCP!)
• Forwarding the protocol and port above to the internal IP address of your HDA

can you double check that?

often, it's a silly setting that is not taking place.

if not came by the irc channel at http://talk.amahi.org and we can help you test it.

Many thanks for the suggestions. I have made a copy of the FritzBox router settings in the attached pdf file. I assume that these are the correct settings (xxx.10 is the HDA server)?

Many thanks,

vrop

Did you make any progress with this problem?

Yes and no,

My connection was checked in the IRC channel, and worked. However, I can still not login from outside with HDAconnect 2/3. So, there is either a problem with a firewall, or something is wrong with the client computer (tried two different computers). I do not know how to test this, so I have given up for the moment.
