Wifi Problem, seemingly tried everything...
« on: June 19, 2010, 09:32:37 PM »
Ok, I did have two routers.  Both have Tomato firmware and one was setup as bridged, however i unplugged that one and have only the one router now.

I can connect no problems with 3G.  With Wifi I always get: "One or more of the iCamSources returned by the iCam Broker Server could not be connected to"

I am currently using 1.4.2.6, but have tried 1.4.2.5 as well as the prior two non-beta releases.  1.4.2.6 correctly updated my router for the port forward via upnp and I verified it.

Man, this has gotten frustrating as I'm nowhere near a computer newbie.  I'm about to the point of firing up wireshark, but I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

Grabbing the logs from my router when trying to connect via wifi on my iphone here are the three entries:
Code: [Select]
Jun 19 22:01:31 tomato user.warn kernel: ACCEPT IN=br0 OUT=vlan2 SRC=192.168.1.126 DST=74.125.159.99 LEN=64 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=44694 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=56007 DPT=80 WINDOW=65535 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B4010303020101080A3260194B0000000004020000)

Looks like to me that is the communications out to your servers?

Works perfectly via 3G, but using this as a monitor for a baby all night on 3G will probably raise some flags on the bandwidth side of things.

Any help is much appreciated.  Just for grins, I tried DD-WRT as well and got the exact same results.

If you are able to connect via 3G but not the same local network then it is most likely and issue with multiple subnets on your local network, or possibly multiple internal IP addresses being used on the local computer.

Are both your iPhone and computer on the same internal subnet? (First three values of the IP the same.) They should be if you are connecting to the same router.

Does your router perhaps have two WiFi networks associated with it? The second one is usually a "guest" network that cannot connect to the "main" network, but again, it would be using have a different IP block / subnet.

The other possibility is if you have another network adapter on your computer that is bound to a different IP address that the iCamSource is picking up, and the connection logic is getting confused by multiple IPs on the computer.

If you could go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ from the computer running the iCamSource and e-mail support@skjm.com what it says your external IP address is then I can attempt to look it up in the Broker Server logs and hopefully troubleshoot the problem.

Please be sure to reference this forum post in your e-mail.
