So I'm having trouble with my htc media link h300. I am trying to connect it to my wifi, so that I can stream over my network, and I'm not able to do so. I tried setting it up using my HTC One, but the phone doesn't have any options to set up the wifi. I tried using my laptop and directly connecting to it, and I went to the IP address settings page, which I found online, but when I try to add a network, it just freezes on me.
Basically, the end result I am trying to achieve is connecting my laptop to it so I can stream directly to the media link. I am able to set up my phone without any issues but only through the media link's portable hotspot feature, not through my network.
Any ideas or solutions? I've spent hours searching online without any luck.

Hi all, I have a weird problem.
I have a tilt and am using the HTC rom, I connect to wifi in my apartment and 3G or HSDPA when I leave the apartment.
When I'm connected through wifi, my Slingplayer works flawlessly, finds my slingbox, and plays the video. When I try to connect outside using 3G/HSDPA, I get "Cannot connect with current connection settings"
I know the Slingbox is working correctly because I can connect to it through a desktop PC without a problem, and I know that the 3G works fine on my tilt because I have no problem loading websites, using mundi, etc.
Any ideas? I've seen a couple other posts on other forums with the same problem but there were no responses on them.
Thanks!
Can you connect to anything else when on 3G?
Try your proxy settings
Did you change the default ports on the SlingBox config?
Are those ports (default or modified) open from the outside of your firewall/router?
If you have the ability to monitor inbound connections try monitoring while you connect through 3G and see if your device attempts on the correct port and that it is NATed to the correct IP and port.

I had exactly the same problem with my Belkin router. You need to set up a port on your router in order for it to work. I know on mine it involved setting up a virtual server.
I am using the TyTN II and I am having the same exact problems. I think AT&T killed access to slingbox somehow. I can surf the internet just fine, and then as soon as I start the slingplayer, my connection gets lost and my phone says "cannot sonnect with current connection settings." Any help would be appreciated, especially with the World Series coming up this week.

Possibly a silly point but can you definitely connect over the internet to it? Or just over your LAN?
There's a wizard that enables the port forwarding for you - (called Remote Viewing or something?) should be with the software for the slingbox.
Could be that your desktop is just going direct over the LAN?
Also, I had problems when I was just using the automatic settings to configure the box - in the end it works far better if you ignore the UPnP stuff, and use the manual setup process (or so I found). Again, the desktop software wizard steps you through this.
If you can connect over wifi at home, but not over wifi or 3g when away, then unless AT&T are blocking the ports, its more likely your router settings, as at home you are inside your LAN but elsewhere you have to go through your routers hardware firewall.
Just have a look at slingbox's help files.
SlingBox works fine on AT&T. Check your proxy settings on the phone. Try the "remove hidden proxy" cab. The home router also needs an outgoing port defined as well. Good Luck, I know it can work.
I will bet that it's your router/firewall blocking the incoming net traffic. Try connecting to it from a Friend's internet connection or a public computer at the library or something.
Had a similar problem with slingplayer mobile on my new HTC TouchPro- phone from Vodafone but I put in my T-mobile SIM as I wanted to keep the Web and walk.
Slingplayer worked fine from Vario3 with same sim but not from TouchPro. Eventually unticked the use proxy server in the connection settings and it started to work. Weird, as on the Vario the proxy box is ticked and it works.
Anyway, worth trying if anyone else is having problems.
One of two things, either you have not port fowarded your router to allow the Slingbox to be remotly viewed, go to portfoward.com for exact instructions for your specific router, or your hidden proxy is messing with it. More than likley its not port fowarded correctly. BTW...when your in your home network, i.e... using WiFi, it will work without the router being fwded because your slingbox is already inside your home network. When coming from the outside of your home network through 3g or whatever your router has to allow access to the slingbox.
Hi, I'm having some problems watching video streams using HTC streaming media .
I've tried different sites, and they all work when i'm using IE and 3G, EDGE or GPRS connections. But when I try using my WiFi connection (tried using both encrypted and open networks) I get an "cannot find network connection" error. Anybody got the sollution.
Have you gone into the streaming media options and changed how its connecting? It might be trying to find your data connection instead of using the Wifi, it should switch automatically thought...

I think I tried just about every possible setting. My WiFi connection is set to "Internet" and so i streaming media.. I also tried when connected to my computer with same result..
any fix yet? I too am having this issue...
Hmm, there's been issues with the WiFi set to Auto that people have had with it connecting, but if you have a network connection that is functioning with its current settings then its something else.
Are you using the internal streaming media player or a third party one?
Edit: Okay I just goofed off with it and had the same issue, went into my Wlan settings under Power Options, I changed the setup from Best Battery (or auto if your's is set to it) to Best Performace and it worked imidiately, your phone is killing it because it kills battery power.
Hope that helps

I am having the exact same problem if anyone figures this out please message me
Hey all.
I've tried searching Google and the XDA, but I still can't seem to get my remote desktop to work.
I'm using the AT&T version (Fuze) and Windows XP Media Center Edition. I went through the steps on my PC to enable and allow RD in the system and firewall sections, and still keep getting the "Cannot connect" error message when I try and use RD on my Diamond. Any advice?
All stock ROM, progs, etc.
Thanks!
If it's anything like T-Mobile in the UK, Remote Desktop may be something blocked at the carrier.
I managed to get around it using an SSH tunnel. It's not actually as difficult as it sounds I describe what I did in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357009&page=2
Before that I'd try connecting to remote desktop through a wifi connection which you know allows RDP, just to make sure your cellular network is at fault. If it is, you could try complaining - some people on T-Mobile UK have had RDP enabled on their "standard" data contracts which aren't technically supposed to have it from what I have heard.
Hey, thanks for the tips.
I actually tried it on a WiFi connection and got the same result.
I'll try looking into your other suggestion, but aside from that, are there any other troubleshooting options? Thanks all!
See if another computer can remote into your computer. It might not be an issue with your phone.
I was able to connect using another computer in the house...they're not networked but using the same internet connection. Gonna try and have my cousin connect to my comp from his house when he gets home...but so far it doesn't seem like it's my computer...
Still need assistance.
Thanks!
try it without the router. u probably need port fordwarding.
You will also need either a static ip address from your isp or setup dynamic dns resolution (i.e dyndns.org). If you have a dynamic ip address the ip address of your router is issued by your isp every time you connect(not neccessarily a different ip every time, but it might be). As mentioned above you will aslo need to setup port forwarding on your router for port 3389 (default rdp port) to the ip address of the machine you want to remote onto.
Forgive me but...how do you set all that up?
I appreciate all the assistance thus far!
I couldnt get mine to work, so I forward port 5900 on my PC and use RealVNC (free/shareware)
Hello:
I'm also having problems getting my remote desktop to work. Been trying to connect since I picked up my Fuze on the 11th.
I have three different computers that I can successfully administer via my desktop. I've tried using 3G to connect, no success. I've tried using Wi-fi to connect, no success. I've used local computer names, IP addresses, properly forwarded ports --
It has to be a setting I'm missing on the phone. Any ideas? TIA
(and yes, I'm sorry, I know this is the Diamond forum, it's just the only thread I've found)
Hi all,
I have Nexus One with stock rom version 2.3.4,
i'm trying to tether my laptop from my phone (WIFI and USB)
and both doesn't working for me.
i can surf with the phone to anywhere when tethering works
i can also ping my external phone IP from the laptop, but no luck when trying to access websites via my laptop.
anyone here have any tips for me?
Thanks!
this may sound dumb but it works for me, once you are able to ping your phone try disabling the wifi hotspot on your phone and re-enabling it then once your laptop is connected again try pinging a site eg: google.com
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.
