[NOT SOLVED] Setting up localhost address, subnet issue

[Scarface]

Hi.

As I did not get much help from my first topic, I'll try again with this topic with a bit more detail of my problem.

Firstly, I'll explain my network setup:

I have a router given by my ISP. A wired cable from there goes to my PC. A second wire goes to my wireless router Airport Express. My PS3 is connected to the Airport Express router.

When I launch the server, it gives me the error: no renderers were found. And sometimes, it says "connected", but with an unknown renderer. I suppose that means it can ping something (maybe PS3, not sure), but something blocks the connection.

This only happends with my stationary PC, which is not running wirelessly, but wired. If I run a laptop connected to my Wi-Fi (the WiFi (airport express), my PS3 runs on), it will work with no problem. It can find the device, I can watch movies, all good. But as I do not own a laptop, but only this PC, I want it to work here.

I was told that I might have a subnet issue, and was redirected to a topic. It explained the subnet issue, but it did not explain how to solve it.

Your server and device are on different subnets:
Per the DLNA protocol (which uses UDP broadcast packets), the server and device must be on the same subnet. The easiest way to check is if you can ping the device from the server (successful ping = on same subnet). This issue should only really happen if you have multiple routers or managed switches in your network. If you only have a single router/switch, then you incorrectly set a manual IP address on at least one of your devices leading to a subnet mismatch

That doesn't really tell me how to solve it, and how to put my ps3 and PC on the same subnet. Or, I probably don't understand it well (I'm not so good at technical stuff). Can you show me a guide, or some tutorial?

Debug.log, from my stationary PC:

As you can see, it creates a socket with my public IP. I want to create a localhost address (read below).

Two lines from a laptop I used to test, connected to my wifi:

[main] Using localhost address
[main] Created socket: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:5001

The laptop I used was picking up all devices that was available locally. Found WMP on 127.0.0.1 (I suppose that's the laptop's localip). And then finally it was granted access to /10.0.1.15 (Ps3's IP).

And with my PC, it creates a socket with its own IP, as you can see in the log file above. My question is, how do I make my PC work as a localhost address like the laptop?

Solutions I have tried, but did not work:

- Added PS3 Media Server to Windows Firewall
- Disabled the whole firewall
- Added port 5001
- Forced the IP 0.0.0.0 (tried to create a socket, like above)
- Forced the IP 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
- Forced the IP 10.0.1.15 (PS3's IP - gave me a lot of errors when launching server)
- Used IP filter with my PS3's IP

Also Airport Express has their own program to configure settings for your router, should I perhaps change something there? If yes, then what to change?

Please help me.
Thank you.

1. No need to create a second topic, especially when you just copy and paste from the first.
2. A little patience goes a long way. You posted three times in a row in less than a day, and then did this whole debacle less than a day after that.
3. You need to bridge your subnet (make the express bridge off the ISP router) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260. Specifically (should be):
   

   If you are configuring the extended Wi-Fi base stations, set Connection Sharing to "Off (Bridge Mode)."

4. The FAQ has been updated to mention bridging. Beyond that, you'll need to Google for additional information.

I'm sorry. I was frustrated, I really wanted this fixed.

I chose that setting, and I could not even use my other devices (iPhone, PS3, my friend's laptop to connect to the WiFI). It said no "Internet access", so I ticked that setting off again. Is that function (bridge off) really the solution to all this? Because if it is, I'd have to find out how to get all my other devices getting internet access with that setting.

[meskibob]

Looks like you need to check if your ISP's router supports WDS (Wireless Distribution System) - http://www.quora.com/AirPort-Express/Ca ... -the-house (you'll need to do the WRT54GS steps in your router's configuration)
You should contact your ISP, check your router's manual, or Google for additional help, as this is outside the scope of this forum.

Is 87.72.32.62 your WAN IP address? It makes sense that a wireless laptop connected to the Airport can see the PS3 also on the Airport.

Is the device given to you by your ISP a router or a modem? My ISP gave me a modem that is connected to a wireless router. My 2 hardwired PCs go into the router, not the modem. My wireless laptop also connects to the wireless router. All are on the same LAN with static IP addresses. The PS3 also has a static IP address on the LAN and everyone can see everyone else.

Your PC sounds like it's on an island by itself.

I couldn't get it to work, meskibob. I don't know the MAC Addresse of my router, and there's no label on my router to tell me what it is.

Madoka, according to this site, http://www.mywanip.com/. Then yes, that's my WAN IP.

This is the router which was given, and set-up for us by our ISP:

http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Allied ... 80245.aspx

I'm sorry, I don't know whether it is a router or a modem.

It does sound like my PC is on an island by itself. It can never connect with my other devices. I can't find the Airport Express with the Airport Utility either, only with a laptop.

[Madoka]

I would plug the PC into the Airport router and, to be simple, let the PC get an address from the Airport via DHCP. Your WAN IP, WAN subnet mask, and default gateways need to be configured into the Airport router if it is a static IP address. You will have to get this info from your ISP. Right now, your PC will never see the other devices, if I understand your setup correctly.

Hi thanks for your reply.

There's just one problem. The Airport Express has only one Ethernet port, and that goes to the router. The Allied Telesyn router has 2 ports, so one for the airport express, second one to PC (it doesn't have an in-built wireless neteork card).

Any other options, or would this mean this is the end, unless I want to configure a lot of settings, or even buying some hardware?

[meskibob]

Doesn't the AE have a WAN and LAN port? http://images.apple.com/airportexpress/ ... _ports.jpg
Connect the AE WAN to one of the Allied Telesyn LAN ports (as already mentioned in the initial Apple support link). As for the MAC address, look at the user manual for the router - http://www.alliedtelesis.com/products/legacy

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I don't know what model that one is, but mine does not have a WAN port, only a LAN. This is the model I have:

http://www.ereviews.dk/wp-content/uploa ... xpress.jpg

But I think it has WAN-support, as there are settings in Airport Utility about it. Just need to learn how to configure correctly.

On my AT router, WAN is blinking red, like there's an error, I guess.

The second link you gave me, does not have the model I have. Is my router some kind of a business-related router? Like it is only distrubted to internet companies.
