![]() ![]() I am very sure the solution to our woes is some completely ridiculous misconfiguration in the firewall, but I just. The start-up part of the log does actually recognise that it should be looking at. There are lots of "Sending ALIVE." entries. The post-startup logs show many entries denying access to the desktop and at least one entry denying access to the lappy. UMS fails completely to see the PS3, even though it is pointed straight at it. Our problem was seen tonight, after several weeks of not using UMS. We know the PS3 has access to the internet, as Netflix is used a lot, thus the ethernet cable is plugged in. DHCP is enabled in the router, but is bypassed by manally assigning IPs to MAC addresses. ![]() As noted above, this system has worked well so far. I do not use UPnP, all IP addresses are manually assigned in the router and UPnP services are disabled as far as possible in the desktop. wfw) says it is binary, but contains mostly clear text. I have attached the current ruleset as well as the TRACE log. WFC was installed about 3 weeks ago, and WF was switched in at that time. All traffic inbound to the desktop is permitted, and outbound is strictly regulated to essential (apps or the OS need it to work) traffic only. Security on the Desktop is VoodooShield 4.20 (anti-exe) and WIndows Firewall with Windows Firewall Control 5.3.0.0. The daughter's lappy (.1.2) is normally switched on, but hibernates when not needed. The subnet has several members, most of which are normally switched off until needed or simply not present in the house. It's on the Desktop, Win7 HP圆4 SP1 (.1.4), ethernet to a PS3 (.1.8). I see no trace of a PS4, which leads me to believe it's on a different subnet.Ummm. Can you find what IP address the PS4 currently has?Ī UPnP enabled router is on 192.168.1.254 The easiest way to figure out if they (UMS computer and the PS4) is on the same subnet is to compare their IP addresses. However, if you want to have wireless devices connected to the Homehub to see UMS, the Wifi network and the wired network can't be separated. UMS only works locally, so there should be no port forwarding active. Port forwarding is for letting traffic coming from the "outside"/internet reach things on the inside, which isn't relevant for UMS. If it's a router it might change things, but as far as I can see it too has a 4 port switch built in - which I assume you use for connecting the two PC's and the other router (used as a switch). I thought it was an old fasion hub, what we used to use before switches. Ok, I'm not familiar with the Homehub products, be the name is misleading. If they are on the same subnet, try disabling the firewall on the UMS computer. If they are on separate subnets, try to configure your wifi router in bridge/transparent/AP mode. In that configuration it won't work regardless of your firewall settings. not separated by a router.Ī common problem is that one device is on wifi and the other is wired, and the router is configured so that wifi and wired are separate subnets. That means that the computer running UMS and the PS4 must be on the same subnet, i.e. Multicast is complicated to route correctly, so it's easiest to just consider it unroutable. That is done with multicast on port 1900. Port 5001 is used to deliver the media content, but is not used in discovery (that is: finding each other). The best way to test if it is indeed the firewall is to simply disable it (still the one on the computer running UMS) and see if that solves it. The firewall in your router isn't involved. What matters is the firewall on the computer running UMS. ![]() Port forwarding 5001 won't work and shouldn't be done, you don't want UMS to be reachable from the internet (or do you mean port forward in the Windows firewall?). ![]()
