[Resolved] Computer found using WiFi scan but log on fails

[bschrib]

Hello,

I had been using Ceton's My Media Center previously without any issues and everything worked without a hitch, it was great. But my HDD died recently so I got to do the reinstallation dance.

When I run diagnostics I get confirmation that everything looks OK, I've verified that PC name, Internal IP, internal port, etc.. all match. I even found out that the time zone was initially set to pacific so I corrected it to Eastern but still no dice. When I try to connect I get the "Password incorrect, please long press on PC to edit. Unable to connect to PC, please check connection or PC settings.". I tried with and without a password. Just to do a reality check that the two devices really can talk to one another I even ran AirDroid and was able to successfully connect from the PC to the phone so I know they can talk..

Below is the scan from the My Media Center config app.

Code: Select all

Running tests
Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0
OS type: x64
checking to see if cdatasvc is running
Running, everything looks good here.
checking to see if yammmsvc is running
Running, everything looks good here.
checking to ensure proper communication exists for apps
checking to see if valid settings on http://127.0.0.1:5832/
valid settings
Settings received from My Media Center v13.1.12.869 on MACHINUS
Communication tests success.

Here is a link to the logcat from my phone, http://pastebin.com/k9fZiTbb.

My machine is Windows 8 (x64) with all the updates Microsoft has put out. For giggles I even tried with the firewall disabled but still no joy.

My phone is a Verizon Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.1.1.

Any input that can be provided to help with this would really be appreciated.

~edit~
I tried both of these threads but am still stuck.

It's OK to close this thread -- it boiled down to the timezone issue, but Windows took a few minutes (read: a reboot and 20 minutes) to suddenly mark the clock at 3 hours ahead.. so corrected the clock after adjusting the time zone and I'm in business. Thanks Ceton!

First thank you for the detailed post, much appreciated

A few things to try seeing you already checked date/time.

Test 1.) open chrome on HTPC enter http://<ipofhtpc>:5832 and you should see a message "nothing to see here"
Test 2.) do the same but on your phone
Test 3.) In the MMC app add a new PC manually, enter the IP and Port the same for both Internal and External settings. Then try to connect
Test 4.) Do the above, but then go into Settings->Advanced->Always Try Internal and turn that on and try to connect

let me know the results of those.

I tried all of those things, I did get the "nothing to see here" messages; it turns out it was the time zone on windows, it took a reboot and a few minutes to display the clock as what the system value was really at (6:50, should've been 3:50, so I've updated and can connect now!). Was just annoyed that despite having changed it in Windows the effect evidently didn't happen immediately. Strange.

Thanks for the super quick response!

No problem, glad it is working.
