Users / Iomega Storecenter NAS and LinuxMCE.

« on: November 21, 2007, 05:59:07 pm »

 I have an Iomega Storecenter with about 800gig of storage and have configured it to have a few shares. I currently have all of my cd's and pictures on this device. It was setup as a fixed ip but i have changed this to DHCP so LinuxMCE will see it and add it.

It seems to add it ok i created a share called /MUSIC and linuxmce found the device and configured it and asked my what data awas on this share i told it music and wala. i have music.

Here is my problem.

every few minutes my LinuxMCE core keeps flashing a popup in the left corner about a Server device being configured or finishing or something. Almost like it keeps getting disconnected? or something is going on. I am not sure what logs to read yet have not gotting that far to see what trigger is causing this. Any help in what to look at next would be appreciated.

Another thing is that this device supports being a upnp server would that be better?

Another problem is i later went and added a new share called /PICTURES and LinuxMCE does not seem to be interested in adding this automagicly. Suggestions?

 Thanks in advance.

Users / problem with DHCPD and a core that is not a router.

« on: November 21, 2007, 05:51:21 pm »

 I have opted to not replace my entire network and firwall with the core. I would prefer to keep my firewall as it is and just run my core as a client on my internet network. I read the wiki and various docs and understand how important DHCP is in how LinuxMCE works.

 I have disabled DHCP on my firewall and have configured it on my core.

My problem is that the core keep telling itself that it is the router and keeps reconfiguring the dhcpd config files to tell everyone in the building that it is the gateway and that it is the dhcp server. I had simmilar issues with Motion not having settings i wanted so i recompiled it... Please tell me i can tell LinuxMCE some defaults for the the router and dns so when it rewrites the config it will do it correctly.

Users / Intercom on windows system

« on: November 19, 2007, 08:40:28 pm »

 I have just began to setup a system at my house and so far its going well.

I have a VIA epia M10000 as my core though it is not my router no do i think any such device should ever be a firewall.. I managed to get it up and just had to disable my firewall's DHCP.

 I installed from DVD and have only have some issues with packages but i managed to get the source downloaded and did a few adjustments to Motion and the pluto motion module to work with my security capture card from linux media labs (LMLBT4M) although it seems to work well i think an event callback method having motion tell pluto that a capture is done is probably better than the sleep it is using now.

 Ok on to my next problem. I dont have any other systems in my rooms yet just my kitchen and i want instant gratification : c ) so i installed the windows version on my wife's computer in her room and cool she can now see the external camera's.. Ok next i wanted an intercom so i dont have to yell upstairs if i need someone to lend a hand or do a chore.. Ok so a few questions.

pluto on a mac. my daughter has a macbook pro have not seen any referece to this yet anyplace.
second intercom. I cant seem to be able to make calls from my wifes computer to the kitchen or vice versa.

 Is this even possible?
