Cannot find my VU+duo2 on my network

[scotsmarc]

HI,

I am setting up my network for external access and i have noticed that my VU+DUO2 is not listed either by name or mac address. I can clearly access all services from the VU+ however is not showing on my network as a device!

I am running the latest image as well as the latest firmware on my router(RT-66NU) and i am perplexed. Can anyone shed any light on this? I had suspected this was something to do with it being a Linux device but i have just connected another linux box and it is immediately showing in the network. I can ping the box and i can open webif into the box - just cant find it.

You need to install mini dlna then enable it ifirc.

Hi,
if you want to see the box with OpenViX in the network neighborhood you must install and/or active samba server in the network settings. If samba is already running then the box is perhaps in a different workgroup.

ciao

If Samba is setup and still not seeing the icon; it could be a firewall problem, or another software problem

Once Samba is installed on your box, just edit smb.conf line in /etc/samba and change the workgroup name to whatever your workgroup name is.
