Could Not Reach Host

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Entering my IP and attempting to connect What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected: the remote to connect. Instead: a message that it cannot reach host. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest Clementine build, 32-bit, Fedora 18. App downloaded from Google Play. Please provide any additional information below. I've gone and updated my version of Clementine from the stable to latest (lots of nice new features), got the app installed on my phone, the remote is enabled and the port is 5500 on both my computer as well as in the app's settings...but when I enter my IP address ( http://www.whatismyip.com/ ), the app tells me it cannot connect to the host. My computer is on and playing music at this very moment, but the app won't connect to it. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

You are trying to connect via your internet ip to Clementine. This is not possible unless you forward the port 5500 to your computer.

But i think you don't want to control Clementine via internet.
Open the terminal and enter "ifconfig". Depending on your connection you see eth0 or wlan0 and below something like this: inet Adresse:192.168.178.42

Use this ip in the app to connect to Clementine.

Please report back if it is working, thanks.

wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet xxx.xxx.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast xxx.xxx.x.xxx

^ I entered this address into the app and still receive the same 'could not reach host' message. The version after 'broadcast' was slightly different (two additional numbers) than the one after 'inet', but neither appear to work. I still can't get the remote to connect. My computer is on and Clementine is running.

Try disabling the "Use only private ip addresses only" option. Otherwise post the ip addresses of your computer and your android device here.

That option was never checked off to begin with. My computer's IP is 192.168.1.2 (or 192.168.1.255; the full line from ifconfig is inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255) and, if I found my phone's IP correctly, it's 192.168.1.6

Okay, with the ip "192.168.1.2" you should be able to connect to Clementine.

Do you have some sort of firewall active? Try ping you android device.

You can also check if clementine is listening for connections with the following command:
netstat -a | grep 5500

What ip did you enter in Clementine Remote? I'd guess you have to enter 192.168.0.140

From georgiev...@gmail.com on April 26, 2013 02:38:39

Yes this one.

Do you have some sort of firewall running? Maybe Clementine is blocked there.

When activiating the remote the first time, a windows firewall popup should have appered where you have to grand Clementine permission to run as a server. Did you give it permission?

Same problem here too.
Solved by disabling Ubuntu Firewall.

I have my Ubuntu Firewall on and it still works without a problem. You just have to make sure you open the Clementine port on the firewall and that's it. You don't have to disable it.

Both windows 7 and fedora 18:
It does not work if I have a proxy selected.
It does work if I have direct internet connection selected.
The proxy running is on windows 7 and is Squid 2.7.STABLE8.

Is your computer or android device behind the firewall? If both, are they in the same network?

Have you set the proxy in the android wifi settings?
