SOLVED: Can access \\hda via wireless laptop, but not on LAN

[jett]

First, excellent! Love Amahi!

My issue is:

On laptop(s) connected via wireless can access \\hda every way, including WE and even listed under the networks.

On desktop which is NOT wireless but connected via cable to port 1 of wireless router cannot access \\hda in any way?

Have read and read forum/wiki. Have tired so many things now lost track of them all, but no work.

Any ideas what may cause this behavior?

Many, many thanks. Hope I am making sense here, been at this all day:)

Suggest you check where your client is receiving it's IP address from, router or HDA. That is typically the issue. Also can you access the HDA via IP address?

Thanks for tips.

This is what I see on desktop that cannot access hda:

Code: Select all

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : jettdigitals.net Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::fd66:9d4e:d6e8:5e1%11 IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.4 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 Tunnel adapter isatap.Home: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : jettdigitals.net Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 11: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IPv6 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 2001:0:9d38:90d7:d9:659:b89f:7f12 Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::d9:659:b89f:7f12%14 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : ::

Yes, I can access the HDA via IP address and also http://hda/ from desktop.

Very , very strange situation. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Try this in the wiki.

So you would enter \\hda.jettdigitals.net in the client file manager.

Lordy, lordy. Sometimes one cannot see the forest for the trees:)

After a good nights sleep it dawned on me I am running Zone Alarm. I temporarily disabled the ZA firewall and everything works!

So my issue was Zone Alarm. Should have thought of that and sorry for bugging you with silly issue.

NOW I just have to figure out how to add Amahi to ZA so it will work enabled...

You can bet I will support Amahi by buying your apps!

Great job and thank you for sharing.

Not positive I read every line on the above page, but spent hours and hours troubleshooting before coming here for advice.

Thank you again for your assistance.

Not a problem. Glad you got it sorted out. Foiled by your firewall LOL
