Sorry for the earlier confusion about IP addresses, to reiterate, it was Hamachi’s IP, and once I disabled Hamachi I am still able to connect to it and it gives my private IP.

Ah. It sounds like either:

1. Hamachi is sending all multicast info out the hamachi interface

or

2. Bonjour is picking up the hamachi interface and advertising it on the local lan.

You might try stopping hamachi, restarting bonjour (so it starts up without hamachi running), then restarting firefly. (through control panel->admin tools->services).

I wonder what that would do.

There does exist an option to specify what interface to advertise on, but I’m not sure how that works on windows. I’ll look into it further, but it looks as if for now you have a workaround.

Glad to hear it.

That doesn’t seem to be working. They’re both attempting to connect via the private IPs now – iTunes on my server can connect ot the Firefly while the iTunes on my laptop can’t. Also, the iTunes on my laptop can connect to the share from iTunes on my server.

Confused yet?

Either way, Hamachi is fine with me, I’ve been using it for a variety of purposes anyway, as I’m often out and about but still want file access to my desktop.

Casao, has this issue been resolved? i’m new to the boards and firefly, and have been trying for the past few days to get firefly working on my network. i don’t know if i should start a new thread and i apologize in advance if i’m thread-jacking:

like the OP, i can see my firefly server through the web interface on all my clients. however, only the host/server pc itself can access the server share in itunes. the clients can see the firefly server in itunes, however, they never connect. it simply hangs on “Loading “Firefly Media Server.”” solution?

It’s not really resolved, but there’s a workaround – if you have the two computers on a Hamachi network, if iTunes attempts to connect through Hamachi it should work.

i forgot to mention that i don’t have Hamachi (i don’t even know what that is..) installed. i think earlier in this thread you said your clients showed with an external WAN ip address, but my clients are always listed with an internal private lan address (192.168.1.xxx).

I was mistaken – it was the Hamachi IP.

If you install Hamachi and set up a network with your computers on it, they should connect fine – atleast, they do for me.

thanks for the response, but i don’t think i have a need for Hamachi and won’t install it. my network is pretty simple and i use WOL on my tomato router to wake up my PC for ftp/ssl and remote desktop. i would just love to have firefly working so that i don’t need to leave itunes running to serve music to laptops and machines in other rooms.

That looks like it’s iTunes ticked off about something. It’s iTunes closing the connection, but I’m not sure why. Does iTunes on the PC connect to it okay?

Might be worth trying this version: http://nightlies.fireflymediaserver.org/version.php?version=svn-1696

It’s got other issues, but the socket stack is all re-written… might be a socket issue.

i tried that version after having problems w/ 1586, but the host pc couldn’t even connect to firefly via itunes so i went back to 1586. with 1586, the host pc has no problems connecting. anyway, i tried again last night with an itunes client and it somehow is working now. the only thing i recall changing is the “compress” option on the server.

Compress to 1, or compress to 0?
