N1, ESPN3, Comcast - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been trying to get ESPN3 to work under N1 Froyo, but no luck...
When clicking to watch live, I get notified that my ISP is not one that supports ESPN3, so I choose Comcast from the list since I do have Comcast at home.
I'm then directed to the Comcast sign-in page, which I do, but afterwards I'm sent to Comcast.net home page. How do I actually get around to get ESPN3 going?

G1 FTP Server. Discussion.

Hey either yesterday or day before it came on the market I saw, a G1 FTP server to allow you to transfer files to your G1 via ftp. I know personally its nifty but so far I havent been able to get it to connect. =/ Anyways I thought Id bring it up here since not sure if its been talked about yet but Im sure the interest is here. =)
Any Dyndns for the G1 yet? =D
It's been up for a long time. Personally I have no idea how to set it up Search DynDns in Market. I think there's an application.
Anyone use either yet and have it working? Can it have the ability to read the ext2 files as well via ftp? That would be awesome.
I downloaded it a while ago, only used it once to test but it worked well.
I just use the usb cable for file transfers though because my G1 doesn't pick up wifi as well as the laptop from the distance to my router.
Yea but wouldnt the FTP server work via EDGE network?
Don't know the situation in your country/operator but from what I've seen in Europe, you're always connected in your operator's private network.
So you get an IP like 10.x.x.x or anything else that is not reachable from the internet. So no server software can run on your device with such an IP.
hrm then wonder how 3G does it..
The Dev did do 3g but couldnt test it according to the last update he did. I know when I start up it says Starting 3G Network.

andFTP problem...

Hi all, I have a strange problem and wondered if anyone could think why it won't work.
I am trying to get access to my work FTP server via andFTP. Now it works fine on my home WiFi (so not an internal external issue) but can't get it to work over the 3G. Does anyone have any idea why this may be or am I just best off trying a different client?
If it doesn't work on 3G, then it's because you haven't forwarded your FTP port in your router. When your phone is connected through 3G, it is outside your local network.
And then you also need to know your "outside" IP address. (Google my IP)
And then thats the IP you need to connect to in andFTP.

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify though it is definately working externally as I can access my works FTP server fine from my home via wifi, even though they are on completely different networks so I know the routing and forwarding etc. is correct from the FTP server end. I just cant work out why it wont connect over 3G.
Can you login to your FTP from work? Or just outside your own network?
It is not the same that you can connect to an outside FTP, that it is to connect from the outside to your internal FTP.
You need to forward port 21 in your router to your FTP server's IP address. Otherwise it wont work.

I can log-in internally when connected to WiFi, I can log-in externally when connected to WiFi, I can't log-in via 3G at all (SocketException). I may well try another FTP client, any recommendations.
So if you connect to a WiFi that isn't your own, you can still log in?
If that is so, then I guess they might have blocked FTP transfers over your 3G network.
It works on mine, thats why it sounds wierd to me, and the only difference is more or less the mobile company.

spot on... after trying a new FTP client and that not working I have done a bit of digging on the web and it seem's t-mob uk block FTP transfers. Anyone else on the same provider confirm this?
That sucks
Try to call t-mobile and ask them if this is just a bug, or if it was intended.
tell me about it! Gonna give them a ring when I get five minutes although I can imagine the call now...
Me: Hello, I cant seem to access FTP via my mobile internet.
T-Mob: Whats FTP???
Me: Could you please open Port 21 so I can access my work files.
T-Mob: No, but did you hear about the great new services you are entitled to for just £xx a month...

FYI, I can ftp my home ftp server no problems over T mobile network using AndFTP.
It could well be how they have you set up, and what package you are signed up for, If you got a G2 from tmobile, I was told there is a specific set they have for you if you have a G2
thanks for the info Higgsy...
As an update to this I have just gotten off the phone to T-Mobile CS and have to say they were very helpful. Although the guy was unsure at first why it wan't letting me get through to FTP he suspected it could be due to not having 'web n walk plus' (£7.50 per month instead of £5). Due to a long wait he added this to my account free of charge.
The problem hasn't gone away yet but he did say it could take up to 24 hours to go through.
Will keep this post updated and let you know if it gets sorted.
I thought it might be that, I used to get this issue trying to access certain things on my old e71 when I had standard web and walk set up. I was actually told by a tech support guy, who was also very helpful that the G1/G2 needed a specific web and walk/account set up.
a quick update to this and 24 hours on unfortunately the upgrade to w+w plus doesnt seem to have fixed things, have decided to give this a miss now and wait for something like a dropbox app to come along.
On the plus side I yet again mentioned my poor internet speed (was averaging around 300-350kbps) so he had a look at the account. Despite being told on several occasion before there was no issue he had a look at the profile assigned to the account and found that, surprise-surprise, I was being throttled at 3g speeds. A few minutes and a phone reset later I am getting speeds in excess of 1500kbps! Hurrah!
I'm not sure what AndFTP's default is, but maybe you want to check that you are using passive mode (it's in the Advanced tab).

Proxy Settings for Work WiFi

I finally got the proxy settings for work working properly. I can now browse the Web at work.
Mind sharing this solution? I'd love to use the nook at work, but need to specify a gateway and dns server.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Here you go
This took me days to find. But it's worth it.
http://gszyszka.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-browse-internet-from-behind.html
enjoy..
I could not get this to work for me. I got Firefox installed and made sure it would browse at home. At work, I fire it up, plug in the network.proxy.http and network.proxy.http.port, then change network.proxy.type to 1. No joy. Note, I'm using the exact same settings as are in my iPod Touch 3G for the same network which works flawlessly (shameless NC/Android dig, sorry). Any tips?

Ditto, I can't seem to find a clean solution.
So far my best bet is to use connectbot to tunnel all my conections through to my server. I'm not sure how to go about that but we'll see what happens.
I'm about to put Nookie Froyo on this b/c I really want Internet at school.
Would this setting perhaps allow me to use my nook color on a linksys wireless bridge? When the bridge is plugged in, I get a "connected but no internet" and when it's unplugged, I get, "connected to the internet" but with a weak signal.
I'm not sure what the issue is, but the Nook is the only device that constantly has this problem.
A better solution is use Opera Mobile 10 beta and select opera:config. The proxy setting is in there. Works 10 times better then Fennec/Firefox.
but what I really want is something that can proxy the whole system, so that market and gmail and other apps have access to the internet
Are you all sure that there's no solution to that? even as of now?

Wifi / Browser Problem

Hi,
I'm using:
Roger Captivate
-Serendipity 4.3
-Speedmod
-JK4
I'm having trouble with my interent via wifi.
It connects to my home, mall, etc..
But when it connect to my school wifi, it doesnt work properly.
In-order to connect to the school wifi you have to login with your student number.
This is done by connecting to the school wifi - which it does perfectly.
And then opening a browser would lead to right into the logging screen.
However, instead of going right into the logging screen, it just load the homepage.
And you dont get interenet access until you are logged on.
It seems like the browser doesnt automatic go into the login page.
Also, when I go on the mall wifi, it require you to check an agreement.
But it went to the mall homepage/ agreement page perfectly fine.
Tried with stock browser and dophin mini...
I know the school wifi is working properly because my classmate beside me is using it fine, and I'm on it with my laptop.

BT Home Hub (UK) - Unable to connect

I got my parents a Chromecast for xmas after getting one myself and being impressed with how simple it was to set up and use with Youtube, Plex, etc. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get it up and running with their BT Home Hub 4 router and keep getting an "unable to connect to internet message". I've seen various posts on other forums mentioning the following as possible solutions, none of which worked in my case:
disable UPNP (also disable UPNP extended security)
disable "Smart" setup
disable parental restrictions (already done)
split the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands into 2 separate SSIDs and only connect to the 2.4GHz one
I'm no expert on routers and networking so would be grateful if anyone else who's with BT in the UK has had similar issues and managed to find a solution they could share. I'd also like to move away from my current ISP whose recent service has been a joke and out of the few providers who offer high speed fibre in my area BT seem like the best of the bunch although not being able to use my Chromecast would be a real pain.
Any advice would be much appreciated!

What firmware build is that Chromecast on? The "Unable to connect to Internet" message means it's successfully connected to WiFi, and at least for me, earlier firmware builds kept showing that. I left it alone for a few days, then power-cycled it and it had managed to download an update (build 13300) that fixed things.
If you haven't already tried power-cycling Chromecast, try that - it might have connected long enough to get an update.
