PSO Proxy Help (can't access the thread below)

[Munki]

Ack for some reason I can't access the PSOProxy thread below, so I apologize if this has been answered already.

I am having problems setting this puppy up. Here is what I did;

Loaded up browser, selected setup. Selected my Provider that I use (my GC has a specific IP, btw), go all the way to the proxy page, enter PCs IP and 8080 for the proxy port.

Save it all.

Start up PSOProxy, then try and connect to web on my GC. My PC pops up with a can't open the connection message.

What am I doing wrong? I also tried using a 'second' provider with an obtain IP address automatically setting, and then put in the proxy stuff... the GC said it couldn't obtain an IP.

Anyway, any help is appreciated. OooK!

Did you make a 2nd ISP entry? Making the 2nd one the one that uploads stuff?

[Munki]

I thought I did... you mean on my GC right?

Just tried that right now... and it didn't work...

What should I be setting my IP settings to? I have 4 IPs, use 2 for my PCs, 1 for my cube, and have one open.

I keep getting a connection cannot be made error from PSOProxy...

I can't view the other post either.

In it I asked if the program would work if I were to hook my GC straight to my PC with a phone cord since I have a modem.

I don't have BBA or a router.

[Mew2baby]

BBA and Router ONLY!

ANd I've taken like 8 pics now and have posted them on IGN pso boards... This is by far one of the best things I've used it easy ect ect adn recommend everyone get it.. Mabey sega will endorse it eh?

Hi,

Although we said the proxy needs a BBA to work, that's not strictly true. It is possible to do it with the modem as well, but it's not quite as straightforward. We're working on getting the documentation improved at the moment, and the next version should have examples of how you'd use it with the modem, along with other connection options. I'm hoping to have something ready by the weekend.

Longer term, we're looking into the idea of writing a "server" version that works over the internet and emails the pics back to you, like the old DC snapshot site. That's a little way off yet, though.

[Whatley]

That's cool.

I liked that pso.donut site. It would be good to have another one just like it for the GC.

Do you use router/hub? If so you MUST have a firewall turned on with any OS to ensure you ahve a DHCP server connection. This is what gives any devices hooked up to a hub a second ip address so that your computer isn't sharing the same info as your cube. it's NEEDED if you are connected via a hub or router.

Seeing as how you wrote it said "coult not obtain IP" i'm pretty sure you just need to enable the firewall on your computer. not all computers just one. That is because without DHCP enabled your cube won't be able to connect. By turning on your firewall, it will fix that problem.

It only said I couldn't obtain an IP when I attempted to get one automatically (which I figured wouldn't work). I have 4 static IPs, 2 assigned to my PCs and 1 assigned to my cube.

I do have a firewall, could that be part of the problem? Since I don't use dynamic IPs I only use a HUB not a router. Could this also be part of the problem?

If anything the firewall would more likely break the program rather than fix it. If you're using a firewall you should disable it completely and see if the program works after that.

Do you use Windows XP? Some operating systems, and web servers work differently. As for me, to enable the DHCP to be called frmo the server my ISP required me to enable the WindowsXP firewall to retrieve DHPC info. I used "obtain IP adress automatically" because thats what DHCP is for, it automatically should assign an IP. Try doing auto detect method on gc and enabling your firewall on your OS. If your hub connect to a computer that is connected to the itnernet enable the firewall for the computer connected to the net, unless the hub spreads out the cable input upon the hub.

no.

If you're going to post something like this, try to back it up with something. I would have expected some REASON to follow the "no," but this is not the case. IF you can explain why this is not true, then I'd be much happier than I am right now.

Oh and on topic, if you are running a firewall (and I'm thinking of software firewalls), you'll need to configure it properly otherwise you might have trouble using some applications which try access the network.

If you are running a router it has a built in firewall, however that firewall only affects external traffic (from the internet.) Your Gamecube and Computer are on the same Local Area Network, both would obtain IPs from the Router's DHCP server if set to automatic, so there would be *absolutely* no reason to run a DHCP server or a Firewall on your computer.

All you have to do is plug both in, and put the *local* IP address of your computer, (the address of the card that plugs into the router, if you have multiple cards for some reason), into the proxy settings on your Gamecube. (192.168.*.* or whatever it may be) and set the port to 8080 or whatever you choose in PSOProxy.

If your computer is giving you an error message saying that it cannont complete the connection when you try to access it on the Gamecube, then that means that your Gamecube is able to contact PSOProxy on the provided port but there is some error occuring during the connection process. It could perhaps be conflicting with another service running on the computer using that port, or a software firewall being lame in general.

Do you have any other servers running on the computer? And do you have all of the settings set as described above?
