Gizmo For android help please
« on: March 24, 2013, 11:35:00 pm »

hi all;, after deciding if i should get jmc 18 i went for it and so far love the features it offers.
i do have a small question tho.

connecting gizmo on my android app works fine when im within range on my nas drive but i cant connect when im at work for instance.
what do i need to do to enable this function so i can play my music located on my external nas drive anywere.

regards
mick

How are you connecting when you are away from your NAS? If through a WIFI enabled connection check and see if the ports needed for Gizmo are open on that network. Can you connect through the Droid's cellular network?

Our wiki has a topic on "Network Access".  It's either a firewall or a routing issue on the server side.

The topic I gave you is the way to learn.  Try things there.  If you get stuck, post what you've done and what happened.
