[Q] Chromecast+Netflix USA in Canada - Google Chromecast

Has any1 had success in Chromecasting Netflix U.S. from Canada? I have spent hours researching, changing i.p. tables, etc. Netflix reaches 18%, then stops. I can however stream Netflix on any of my iOS devices including my Mac without issue, using AdFreeTime subscription. Works perfectly on all of my devices, with the exception of my CC. Just to detail my setup: Fonera router DDWRT wirelessly connected to Airport Extreme (with modified AFT DNS modifications) I run "Administration", "Commands", enter"-iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr) iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i br0 -p tcp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to $(nvram get lan_ipaddr)" -- "save Firewall". I setup Chromecast and successfully connect to Fonera DDWRT Router. Reboot CC, reconnect with the my DDWRT Router successfully, attempt to cast Netflix USA from my iPad. The iPad streams perfectly, however Chromecast stops at 18%. Thanks!

I have posted a solution for this exact query in [HOWTO] Chromecast/Netflix outside USA without VPN
Considering that you have a DD-WRT router, you are all set to use this solution and Netflix away without any VPN bandwidth limitations. You don't need a VPN service for this solution.

Remote Desktop Problem

I Installed WM6_RemoteDesktop.cab on my Tilt and on the connect screen entered ip address (68.50.15x.xxx) for computer and user name and password of my PC account and left domain blank. It comes back with error message.
Coannot Connect. Likely Reasons
1. The remote computer is not set up for this
2. Reached maximum connections
3. A network error occurred while connectin
I have set up a user account on my PC with password and access to remote services.
Number 2. cannot be true as there are no connections right now.
What am I doing wrong, Do I need to tweak anything to make this works.
Please help.. Thanks in advance.
Make sure you have the port open. I don't remember the number because I've changed my default port but I'm sure you can google it.
Port Number is 3389. How do I open this? I am directly connected to the cable modem. Thanks
You should try to connect to your pc using another pc first before focusing on connection on the PDA. Maybe some firewall software on your PC is just blocking incomming connections on port 3389? HTH
I used MS port queri to query the port. It looks like something is blocking the port. I dont know what. I tried the connection after disabling mcaffee firewall. still no luck.
Port queri returned with this
Querying target system called:
sk-machine
Attempting to resolve name to IP address...
Name resolved to 68.50.1xx.xxx

TCP port 3389 (unknown service): FILTERED

"FILTERED" means, that the connection attempt was actually rejected by the PC. Meaning: there is an a firewall which is filtering the port. Maybe you have the windows firewall still enabled?

You probably just have the Windows Default Firewall enabled. Which version of Windows are you running?
Windows XP
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/internet/sp2_wfexceptions.mspx
Vista
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/4da18300-9044-47b6-9038-595c78db81ab1033.mspx
If that still doesn't fix your problem then look at your internet security/virus scanner
My Windows XP sp2 Firewall is turned off and also to be on the safer side, I have checked remote access under "exceptions".
I turned off my Antivirus (Mcaffee) firewall and tried ms port queri again and it still shows as filtered. I dont have any routers, PC is connected directly to the cable modem. Do you think ISPs block port 3389? ISP is comcast, rockville MD
I have made sure that Terminal services is running and Port 3389 is listening (netstat -a)
There are so many articles about identifying blocked/in active port 3389 port on the net but none actually says how to fix it.
That would suck if they block it. Try this out. Oh and I don't think just disabling the virus scanner will solve your problem if that is what is causing it.
http://www.auditmypc.com/firewall-test.asp
Maybe that will show you something you don't know already. (like if all your ports are closed, which would mean there is an active firewall somewhere) Also I would suggest that if you can't get it working any time soon, try to get a router and another computer hooked into yours. This way you can have a network and comcast out of the equation. Try remote desktop from the other computer. Also
Are you using XP pro or home?
Thanks Chumley, I am at work now so will run the firewall audit later on. I have xp media center (which would be home I think).
I tried to telenet to port 3389 to my Home Ip, connection errored out. So port 3389, even though shows as listening, still being blocked by something other than AV firewall or windows firewall.
media center is based off of pro, which is good because then remote desk is actually a feature. HEHE.
hmm, when I do
telnet ip 3389
it's goes to a totally black screen. Never tried that before. I think you can do the port test from work.
Cannot do the firewall test from work as it bases its test on work ip.
for telent test you can type telnet in Start->run
then
o [ip] 3389
I get connect failed.

share internet from pc to android

Hi, I know, probably someone have made the same question but I haven't found anything in the forum.
Is it possible share my internet connection from pc to android via usb or via wifi?
how? thanks
If your PC is on a wired connection with a wireless card you could probably bridge the connection (or just use internet connection sharing if you use windows) and make an ad-hoc network to connect to via wifi.
I have a laptop connected via ethernet... how I can make a ad hoc connection?
I have tried to create one, but the phone don't find anything!!
Nobody can help me ?
You can use Tether WiFi and make your handset as Adhoc access point.This will only work on rooted handsets.
Secondly use something like PdaNetA115 for wired usb connection to use your phone as modem in both cases.Will work with rooted/unrooted.
There is another one which is Tether Bluetooth for rooted phones.

Wrong way, he's trying to use his laptop's connection to get wifi to the phone, not trying to use the phone as a modem. Looking at some other stuff and trying it myself it doesn't look like you can connect the phone to ad hoc. Sorry
and via usb??? is it possible?
maybe with some adb command....
I have used this method on the micro hero 1.3, CyanogenMod v4.1.11.1 and I am just about to set it up on micro hero 1.4.

The wifi modem at my G/Fs mothers has no internal PPPoE login and her adsl connection needs a PPPoE login, Android cant do this or I havnt been able to find and app that does.
I use my laptop(with 2 wifi cards, one internal and 1 external(pcmcia)) to do the PPPoE login(internal wifi) on the laptop and then share this connection via ad-hoc(external wifi) to my G1.
One thing that I would like to point out, if I lose the connection between the G1 and the laptop, I have to reboot the laptop to get it to share the internet again.I haven't worked out why yet.
I have ordered a new modem/wifi/router of ebay that will do away with all this crap, but for now it is a work around that does works, until the new modem arrives.
Hi All,
I also am looking for a way to get the phone connected to the internet FROM the PC via USB.
reason:
I have a Corporate SW that connects to WIFI access points around the world for free (at least free to me, not to the company).
this is done through a SW on the PC. now, I cannot mad an AD Hoc connection because the WIFI is already working. and I also cannot connect using the phone wifi due to the same reason..
is there a way to connect the phone to the Internet through the USB cable?
Thanks,

Hi,
I just change my HTC HD for the Nexus One and I really need a way to do that, like ActiveSync for WM.
Is there a solution to use the pc connectivity with android using the USB cable ?
many thx
for WiFi sharing, you could try this: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/how_to_turn_your_windows_7_computer_into_a_wireles.php
I'm going to test it this weekend
Maybe this too:

Hi,
HTC Desire natively does not have the ability to see AdHoc connections.
So you will need to do some hacking,good thin this is easy !
Use this link :
forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-755254.html
Unfortunately i don't have enough privileges to post links...so you make it a link
Good luck !
If the PC is connected to Wifi, there is no reason the Android device wouldnt be connected as so aswell.
Is there anyway I can share the internet on my notebook to my Android through USB cable, just like Activesync on WM ?
I can ofcourse use Wifi & connect to the same network my notebook is connected to, but the reason I wanna do this is to save power of the Android device by not using Wifi.
Well, here's a reason.... I fly alot and have a software from my workplace that connects me free to almost any non-free hotspot at airports around the world..
that means I can't use wifi on my device and am already using the wifi interface on my PC to connect to the internet.
which leaves me with a dongling USB cable that cannot pass the internet to my phone..
Bummer
im facing the same problem bec. i use a usb modem and i have only the cable to share the pc net on my android so .........waiting for an idea
share internet from pc to android via wifi
I used below way to share pc's internet via wifi.
Prerequisite
laptop:
Windows XP SP3
WIFI + LAN (access internet via LAN)
Android SDK has been installed.
phone:
HTC Desire with official 2.2 Android
Steps:
1. Rooted the phone with unrevoked3.
Because I can not paste link, Please search relevant threads.
Please notice, select "charge only" when link phone to PC.
Do not unplug phone till unrevoked3 display "done".
2. Set NAT on laptop
Please search relevant threads.
a) Modify Registry Entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
IPEnableRouter=1
In Command Prompt window, run below command:
b) net stop remoteaccess # Stop the RAS Service
c) netsh routing ip nat install
d) netsh routing ip nat add interface "Local Area Connection" full # This interface have internet link
e) netsh routing ip nat add interface "Wireless Network Connection" private # traffic on this interface will be routed.
f) netsh routing ip nat add interface Internal private
g) net start remoteaccess
h) command "netsh routing ip nat show interface" will output
NAT Internal Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Private Interface
NAT Local Area Connection Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Address and Port Translation
NAT Wireless Network Connection Configuration
---------------------------
Mode : Private Interface
3. Enable phone's Hot-Spot with default configuration(DHCP enabled).
Configure laptop connect to phone as AP.
So my laptop's WiFi interface will be DHCPed an ip 192.168.1.157
my phone ip is 192.168.1.1
4. Add route and DNS on phone.
a) "adb shell" in command prompt, then "su".
Now you should login as root.
b) run "ip route add default via 192.168.1.157",
So all phone's traffic will be routed to laptop's WiFi interface.
My LAN interface ip is 192.168.15.100.
Just try "ping 192.168.15.100", It should return successful response.
c) Set DNS server, run "setprop net.dns1 192.168.15.1", Get DNS from laptop with command "ipconfig /all".
Not try ping a existed web site. It should return correct response.
Note:
Windows XP can keep NAT configuration after restart. But you should re-run Step 4 after restart phone's hot-spot.
E-Market and Build-in Browser do work. But GMAIL does not work. It seems Gmail check network connection type.
share PC internet with Android over USB
I also need this solution badly... Let's experiment. Anyone got any ideas?
well, here is my thoughts
1) Create VPN server in phone\network, the server address is 127.0.0.1, enable PPTP protocol
2) adb forward tcp:xxxx tcp:1723
The tcp:1723 is phone's PPTP port
3) Setup a VPN server on PC using port xxxx
4) Start VPN connection on phone
Any idea?
Mac to Android via WiFi
I forgot that this requires ad-hoc support :-/
If you have a mac, you can share your wired/wireless connection via WiFi.
1) Open System Preferences > Sharing > Internet Sharing > Enable
2) Join a wireless connection on plug in ethernet
3) Click airport in the menubar, then 'Create Network'.

chromecast two networks

I wonder if there is any way to have access to chromecast from separate network. I run enterprise encryption at home for laptops and have domain controller on 192.168.0.XXX . I also have separate 192.168.2.xxx for devices such as homesmart, wifi termostat and etc My chromecast is on 192.168.2.XXX. Is there proxy that will make chromecast discover able on other network. I know per default routing is set in a way that disables nat translation.

I have a split network as well, but sadly it will not work as the Chromecast uses Multicast to initiate the connection to cast devices.

Yeah, to get the multicast to cross subnets you need your routers/endpoints to know how to properly route the packets, and you need multicast reflection via something like Avahi or tivobridge (with the MDNS options). I've used the latter for making TiVo devices visible across subnets, but never tried it with Chromecast...

Chromecast Connected but unable to access internet...

Hi Guys,
I've got a rather unusual setup for my home-internet where by I have a main router (192.168.1.1) which provides Wi-Fi to one part of the house and a second router turned into an access point (192.168.1.1) by running an ethernet cable from router 1 to router 2.
I've connected my Chromecast successfully to the TV near the 192.168.1.1 router but when I try to use it on the TV near the 192.168.1.2 router if it connects to the 192.168.1.1 router it's extremely laggy as it only has 1 bar of signal.
However, if it connects to the 192.168.1.2 router and then use my phone to try to cast to the TV it works nicely; however the TV has no internet access so it can't stream via YouTube... etc as you can see:

I've given the Chromecast a static IP in both routers so that it has the IP of 192.168.1.115, it's rather confusing because the Chromecast shows that it has the right IP as you can see: http://i.imgur.com/7L2RxUj.png and other wireless devices work like my phone does when it's got a static IP connected to the second router.
Here are some side by sides of each router's settings.

Any help would be much much appreciated!
I just messed around some more and it's because the Chromecast auto-detects gateway information.... if it detects gateway as 192.168.1.2 it wont work because of something to do with the router...
If the gateway was 192.168.1.1 but connected to the 192.168.1.2 router it would function correctly..
How do I get round this?
Would I have to do something with the below:

Where do you have the ethernet connection from router 1 connected into router 2?
If it's connected into the WAN port, the problem probably is that your WAN and LAN network interfaces both have the same subnet, which just plain won't work. Even if it did, your NAT firewall on router 2 would probably interfere with proper communication between your Chromecast and your phone/browser.
If it's connected to your LAN port (which is how I'd suggest connecting them), you shouldn't have DHCP enabled on router 2.
Good luck!

Hi,
I have the ethernet connected to the LAN1 port on router 2, I've tried connecting it into the fiber port but don't know how to set it up to allow networking via the fibre port.
So your suggestion is to disable DHCP?
It's weird because if I'm connected to Router 2 on my phone I can still control my Samsung TV via the SammyGo app and also my Sky+ Box that are both connected to Router 1.
Yes. My guess is that the DHCP server on the second router is serving up leases with the wrong gateway (.2). Leaving DHCP enabled on router 2 would allow all of your LAN devices to communicate with each other, but any device that gets the .2 gateway lease won't see the internet.
You should only have one DHCP server on a network anyway, unless you know what you're doing and have some sort of redundant server config set up. But in that case you wouldn't be here talking to me
Exactly what muchtall said.
Connect the two routers LAN-LAN, but set the secondary AP's gateway to the first router's LAN address and turn off the secondary AP's DHCP server.
That way everything should get DHCP from the primary AP/router and Internet traffic will route correctly.
Have had to do this many times to get around silly ISP router/modem combos and use my own router.

I disabled the DHCP on the second router and it did nothing even with devices and routers rebooted, I then tried to set the LAN Host on the second router to .1 even though I was sure it would just cause a conflict and as soon as I did this the entire network became unstable internet was up then down, up then down... over and over.
I had it set like this: http://i.imgur.com/5Zq8fk6.png

Either I'm understanding something wrong or I'm doing something wrong...
I tried the following: http://i.imgur.com/5Zq8fk6.png but as I said to muchtall, it just made the network incredibly unstable because of an ip conflict I guess?
EDIT #1, To both...
Do I need to do something in static routing: http://i.imgur.com/mBUeYFQ.png
EDIT #2
I think I've got it working... I disabled DHCP, kept it on .2 and changed the WAN settings to the following:

The LAN cable is connected in LAN1 and I'm using SSID1 (it appears to be working on my phone and chromecast atm)
I might be getting lost with what you are trying, so let's just lay out the ground rules of what you must have configured to make a double wireless "router" network work:
Both routers must be connected together via a LAN port on Router 1 to a LAN port on Router 2
Router 1 should be connected via the WAN port to the internet
Router 1 should have an IP address of 192.168.1.1
Router 1 should have DHCP enabled
Router 2 should have an IP address of 192.168.1.2 (or any other free address, just NOT .1)
Router 2 should have DHCP disabled
Router 2 does not need any routes configured (default or otherwise) since it is on the same broadcast segment as Router 1, and Router 1 handles routing for the network.
If you are still having problems, try a few tests when connected to Router 2 with a computer:
Can you ping 192.168.1.1?
Can you ping 8.8.8.8?
Can you open http://google.com?
(Assuming you are on Windows) Post the output of "ipconfig /all" here (which you can run in a "cmd" window).
Once we know the results of those tests, and the network config of your computer connected to Router 2, we might be able to determine what's wrong.
Edit: Glad to hear you got it working. Looks like your router supports WAN/LAN bridging. That's nice. Not all routers do. It also got me to thinking that one of the problems you can encounter when doing and LAN port to LAN port conection is htat hte ports may not support auto-MDIX (auto-crossover). Basically the RX pairs need to connect to the TX pairs on the RJ45 connectors. If your router's built-in hub didn't support it, you would have had to have made an ethernet crossover cable. Anyhow, hope everything works out in your testing. Good luck!
Maybe I'm wrong here....
But wouldn't it be better to connect the second router using it's WAN port (connected to LAN Port on main router) and then shutting off DHCP and putting the second router into Bridge mode with the same SSID?
Then it should just act as a repeater and would even stop from having interruptions when switching from one router to another?

Once we know the results of those tests, and the network config of your computer connected to Router 2, we might be able to determine what's wrong.
Edit: Glad to hear you got it working. Looks like your router supports WAN/LAN bridging. That's nice. Not all routers do. It also got me to thinking that one of the problems you can encounter when doing and LAN port to LAN port conection is htat hte ports may not support auto-MDIX (auto-crossover). Basically the RX pairs need to connect to the TX pairs on the RJ45 connectors. If your router's built-in hub didn't support it, you would have had to have made an ethernet crossover cable. Anyhow, hope everything works out in your testing. Good luck!

Both routers must be connected together via a LAN port on Router 1 to a LAN port on Router 2 Check
Router 1 should be connected via the WAN port to the internet Check
Router 1 should have an IP address of 192.168.1.1 Check
Router 1 should have DHCP enabled Check
Router 2 should have an IP address of 192.168.1.2 (or any other free address, just NOT .1) Check
Router 2 should have DHCP disabled Check
Router 2 does not need any routes configured (default or otherwise) since it is on the same broadcast segment as Router 1, and Router 1 handles routing for the network. Check
I tried this on my third router which is a D-Link DSL-3780; not a Huawei HG533 and when I try to connect my phone to this router it sits there trying to allocate an IP address but sits there trying over and over and constantly failing. I've tried to use the "DHCP Relay" option too but it does seem to solve the issue either.
If I then connect the third router to the computer and set the TCP/IPv4 settings like http://i.imgur.com/n77Gz3R.png then it connects fine, however if I make it obtain automatically like the Chromecast would then it fails to connect.

Maybe I'm wrong here....
But wouldn't it be better to connect the second router using it's WAN port (connected to LAN Port on main router) and then shutting off DHCP and putting the second router into Bridge mode with the same SSID?
Then it should just act as a repeater and would even stop from having interruptions when switching from one router to another?

That's what I've done for the secondary router, it works now but my third router doesn't have that. Although not as important.

Make sure the second router's LAN gateway is set to the LAN address of the first router (192.168.1.1) otherwise it won't know where to send packets for its wireless clients and everything will end up in going nowhere.

Hmm, I can't find anywhere to setup a "LAN Gateway", I would of though the DHCP relay would have done the same thing but it doesn't do anything :/

It would if the wireless clients are getting the primary router LAN address as the gateway, as outbound traffic will go there for the router to determine where to send it.
If the wireless clients are getting a different address, then that device needs to know to send the traffic to the primary router.
Wired clients on the secondary router will have the same issue.
But if your secondary router is connected from its WAN port to the primary router's LAN port in Bridge mode as pictured, no gateway needs to be specified because unknown traffic should route "out and up" through the WAN port.

That's not going to be of any use when the routers are connected LAN port to LAN port. DHCP handles that, and since the networks should be on the same broadcast segment, normal ARP discover handles the rest.
@Hyflex: DHCP Relay isn't going to be applicable either (since both routers should be on the same broadcast domain of the network), and in fact could interfere with proper operation. What is the current state of things? Is your Chromecast working, or no? If it's not working, do your applicable LAN ports show a link when the two routers are connected?

That alone would break the Chromecast functionality. The Chromecast has to be on the same subnet as the phone, unseparated by NAT.

Nevermind. Missed the bridge part.

USB-OTG to USB/Ethernet Not Working

Hey Guys,
I have a question about using USB-OTG to USB/Ethernet adapter with the Nexus 6. I am running a nightly CM12 version 12-06022015. I have a USB-OTG to USB/Ethernet adapter. When I connect everything to the phone and the computer the phone recognizes the setup and I can view eth0 in the terminal and even assign a static IP to the eth0 interface. The adapter also shows activity lights and so does the ethernet port on the laptop. However, I cannot ping the computer. I have the ethernet port on the Laptop configured with the address 192.168.1.100/24 and the phone eth0 configured as 192.168.1.101/24 but the request times out trying to reach either device. The crazy part is that if I leave the laptop doing a continuous ping and reboot the phone through the terminal it pings until the phone is fully booted up and then it stops pinging and returns to the request timed out message!! I am at a loss. Any help would be awesome. Also sorry if this is in the wrong thread but it looked appropriate to post here.
Solved. I downloaded an app from the play store called "Ethernet" and had it automatically assign the IP. For some reason it assigned the phone an APIPA address. When I configured the laptop with an APIPA address on the same network it worked like a charm. There was an interface that showed up with "busybox ifconfig" command that had an APIPA address but it wasn't the eth0 interface. I believe it was the rmnet_usb0 interface bit I'm not sure. Either way the app worked but I'll continue to play around and get it to work without the app.
