Title: Library Server Problem with Axim
Post by: bwanagreg on February 21, 2006, 09:58:58 am

I have a new Dell Axim X51V (Windows Mobile 5) and installed Activesync 4.1 and an eval of MC11 (latest build from last night) on my server (XP Pro). I set up another XP Pro machine on my home network as a MC client (same version of MC).

When the Axim is plugged in to its cradle (on the server machine), I can't get the playlists to update on the client. The client machine seems to find the server, waits for 15-20 seconds "connecting", but then stops with no song lists appearing.

When I remove the Axim from the cradle, it works fine.

Any idea what the problem is? I want to install NetRemote, but not until I get the basic library server functionality working.

What's the log on the server say?

Axim unplugged:

02/21/06 11:24:21 - JRiver Library Server Version 1.0.31 starting...
02/21/06 11:24:21 - Trying Port 80
02/21/06 11:24:21 - Starting Auto Detect beacon
02/21/06 11:24:21 - Running on Port 80
02/21/06 11:25:13 - Received request for version
02/21/06 11:25:13 - Sending version

02/21/06 11:25:14 - Sending library
02/21/06 11:27:07 - Received request for a file: E:/Music/APE/Assorted/...(edited)

Then, I plug Axim in and try to start client: no mesages in log show up at all.

OK, then I unplug it and start the client:

02/21/06 11:34:15 - Received request for version
02/21/06 11:34:15 - Sending version
02/21/06 11:34:15 - Received request for library
02/21/06 11:34:15 - Sending library


Probably not too helpful I'm guessing.

Somehow the Axim's messing up the networking.

Try running Library Server on a different port...

I tried a few random port numbers last night - 81 and 20000 if I recall - without luck. Do you have any specific suggestions for ports to try?

81 and 20000 should be fine. It was a long shot.

I have no idea what's going on here. If you get ethereal (www.ethereal.com) and do a sniff, it should indicate what's happening to the packets.

From both the client machine and the server machine, try opening a browser
and entering:

http://192.168.0.1:80/GetVersion

where you put in the server IP address instead of 192.168.0.1, and the
actual port instead of 80. See what you get back if anything...

Thanks for the suggestions John. I'll try them tonight.
