I have just got a Linkstation Live and I am using twonkymedia with an xbox360. How do you access the twonky server from a remote pc. I'm quite new to this and I don't know what address I would need to access the twonky drive. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

If you know what IP address your Linkstation is, it would be this:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9000/

Olly - If it's a remote PC then you will have to open up port 9000 on your router/firewall too.
But I think there's a bug in twonky's webserver. The homepage loads fine, as does clicking on any of PC / 320x240 / 240x320. But once the music/photos/videos media tree is displayed, you cannot procede further cos links point to twonky's local IP ie
http://my.homeip.net:9000 - brings up twonky webbrowser
http://my.homeip.net:9000/webbrowse-e61 - 320x240 page loads fine
http://192.168.10.200:9000/webbrowse-e61/O1 - fails to load music page for obvious reasons......
btw I'm not sure I like the option of having the settings page available for remote access.......
Edit: should say I'm running 4.4.4rc1 on nas device (maxtor MSS).

Did you also fill in the
Code: Select all
# Dynamic DNS
dyndns=http://my.homeip.netn:9999
# HTTP Server Port
httpport=9000
# HTTP remote port
httpremoteport=9999
entry?
For me I also needed to change the port number for remote port to a different one than the internal one is.

No, haven't done that. I now see there's a sticky on this topic - I'll read through that. Thanks for the tip ThyMaster.
I had the web i/f working locally on 9000, so just assumed it would be a matter of forwarding 9000 from the outside world to gain the same functonality. Yet again twonky appears to be more feature-rich than I was aware of

Yes, and less documented than one thinks, too

All working fine now ThyMaster. Well I can't be blamed for not having RTFM'd, but maybe I should have RTFF

I've managed to get to the same point dgelowe originally posted. In the Network part of the settings there are a couple of fields for inputting your port and local address/dyndns address for web access. Checking the ini file it appears to then update this as necessary. I'm running version 4.4.3.1
However I can't get beyond the page with the Music, Pictures and Video option, it just times out. I guess I will have to follow ThyMaster's idea of two different ports, however this requires me to manually change the ini file, and I don't seem to be able to do this......do I need a special program to edit it?
