MiniDLNA Server not visible with Wifi

[Khamul]

Hi all,

i have a strange problem with my B3 and i don't know whether it depends on my router or my b3.
As long as i had connected my b3 via LAN to the router the MiniDLNA Server was visible to every client in the network (all clients are connected via WiFi to the network)
Now i have configured the b3 as WiFi-Client which seams to work, because I can still access with ssh, the admin page and the Firefly webinterface.
The only thing is, that now no client can see the MiniDLNA-Server.
The wlan0 interface has a static IP and minidlna is running (after a reboot)

Code: Select all

root@b3:/# /etc/init.d/minidlna status
minidlna is running.

The log says:

Code: Select all

[2012/01/06 11:48:13] minidlna.c:848: warn: Starting MiniDLNA version 1.0.19 [SQLite 3.7.3].
[2012/01/06 11:48:13] minidlna.c:936: warn: HTTP listening on port 8200

I use a Speedport W723V router and the only thing I changed is, that WiFi is using a specific channel and not AUTO.

Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for answers

minidlna might be configured to run on the wired network, check the /etc/minidlna.conf file to se what network card it's using. Use ifconfig to see all ports availble.

Thanks, but this seems to be good.
minidlna.conf:

Code: Select all

# port for HTTP (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer) traffic
port=8200

# network interface to bind to (this is the only interface that will serve files)
network_interface=wlan0

iptables -L -v

Might the Bcast address not correct?
Why is it 255 at the end?

Did you manually edit minidlna.conf, or your network settings? If you have wifi enabled the network interface should be br0 (which is a bridge between wifi and the LAN port). What does ifconfig br0 say?

[coffee]

minidlna.conf:

Code: Select all

# port for HTTP (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer) traffic
port=8200

# network interface to bind to (this is the only interface that will serve files)
network_interface=wlan0

did u try setting interface to br0?

Code: Select all

# network interface to bind to (this is the only interface that will serve files)
network_interface=br0

could you give the output of ifconfig br0?

So finally i solved it.
It was a stupid mistake I've made.
First of all, the interface wlan0 was correct, since i've configured the b3 as a wifi client like it was described in the HowTo Section [url]http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2938/[url].
One difference was that i gave the b3 a static IP like:

Code: Select all

iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.xyz.xyz
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.xyz.xyz

What i forgot was to add a line like:

Code: Select all

broadcast 192.168.xyz.255

So no it works.
Thanks to all for help.
