easyFind not working?

[agerrius]

When I try to enable easyFind for my Bubba2 in the settings I always get the message in return that "Name "yourname" (or network) not available". I tried different names for yourname already. So I am guessing it might be something else.

Is this function working OK for other or do I need to enable something else before it will work?

Bump, anybody?

Hi,

I have the same problem. I just changed some basic settings, nothing that should affect this. Got my bubba two yesterday =)

yep...same for me!
All I get is "Name "yourname" (or network) not available". Dunno about spoofing but I did'nt fiddle with the MAC adress. But I can reach it from outside using the IP.

My bubba2 is used as firewall/router in my network (scenario 4 manual).
In order to get access to the internet I had to spoofe the mac address on the wan port of the bubba.
I found how to do this:

http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?t ... t=spoofing

This resulted in access to the internet but also is the above described problem with easyfind

I mailed Support@bubba.com and got folloing answer from PA Nilsson:

Hi,

Yes, spoofing eth0 is the reason for easyfind not working.

If you can not update your ethernet address on your SP, you need to edit the file /etc/network/easyfind.pl.

The subroutine get_mac should always return your original ethernet-address of eth0.
As root, change the line
return $mac;
to
return "your:original:mac"

Regards
PA Nilsson.

I tried this and then easyfind worked allright.

(remember to put the " " around your original mac)

Hi all,

Regarding those who had problems with their new units and not using mac-spoofing. Is this still a problem?

We had a somewhat delay in adding the newly sent out units to our hw-database. Resulting in a day or two where easyfind would be unavailable for these units. This should however be fixed since a few days.

Hi,


I am getting the 'Name "" (or network) not available' message and I am not using mac-spoofing.


Thanks

[agerrius]

Same for me, still not working. And I did not make any changes to the MAC address or so. Just plugged bubba into my network and turned it on.

Don't know if it is relevant, but I am not using bubba as router, I have the router from my ISP for that.

Same for me too, still not working. I do not use mac address spoofing.

[jonte]

Same for me too, I'm afraid. No mac address spoofing.

This sounds strange, we have tried to find out the issues but still no luck. We would need some help from you, can you please email us (at support@excito.com)? We need your mac adresses to see what the problems may be.

Check your mac adresses by issuing

[code]ifconfig eth0[/code]

Thanks! [/code]

Hi all,

We have found out that it is possible to get this behavior if easyfind has been enabled and then disabled again.
Next time it is being enabled, the settings on the server will not be updated.

We will release a fix for this in the next software update, but a workaround is to delete the file "/etc/network/easyfind.conf" and then enable the feature again using the UI.

The mentioned CONF file was not present on my bubba2, but I tried again to enable the easyFind and now it works. So problem solved (for me at least).
