Title: Cannot Connect to MyHouse Service
Post by: dan on December 16, 2005, 07:07:59 PM
When I try to connect via myhouse.x10.com I
get 'Cannot Connect to MyHouse Service'
over and over.  What are you thoughts?
Router/firewall?  Known bug?

Thanks
Dan

First, make sure that the System ID you've
entered is correct -- if it's not, the
connection can't be completed. If that's OK,
it's likely to be a firewall, router, or
proxy problem. Are you able to connect from a
different system or using a different
Internet connection?

The system ID is ok, I double checked
that.  I have only been able to try from
home.  I was tying from my laptop, and when
I tried from my desktop, it works.  Pretty
cool stuff.

There must be something on my laptop
blocking it.

Thanks

Yes, the host computer was left on. If that
computer goes into a "sleep" mode, will this
effect connection?????

I cannot get my host system to connect to
the service either.  When I open the MyHouse
Status window, I see the following...

0 Start Connection...
1 Connecting to MyHouse Service..
2 Cannot Connect to MyHouse Service
3 Verify MyHouse Plugin-in Registration
4 Disconnected from MyHouse Service
5 Trying to Reconnect...

And then it repeats.  I have disabled all
worm protection, access rules, etc.  Still
no-go.  I even went so far as to put my
computer on the other side of my router.
Still no joy.

I called support and he said to make sure
that myhouse.x10.com was reachable on port
80 and port 8001.  He didn't seem real
knowledgeable (he was reading from a script).

Any suggestions?  X10?

What cable carrier is everyone that can't
get it to work using.  I have Wide Open
West.  Could it be an issue with them
blocking the port on there side??  Just
throwing that idea out there.  There is a
30 day guarantee on this product if I do
not get it working may retrun and wait till
they get all the bugs worked out of it.

doesnt sound like an issue there Im using
Norton Internet security but have disabled
it. anyone using that?
Title: Re: Cannot Connect to MyHouse Service
Post by: steven j. marty on December 20, 2005, 01:32:17 PM
I am using just Norton AntiVirus 2005 but I
have disabled everything and it still will
not connect.

Does MyHouse create any detailed activity
logs?  It seems if we just had more
information on what was (or wasn't)
happening, this would be so much simpler.

I agree with Rob.  It doesn't appear to be a
proxy, ISP, firewall, or antivirus conflict
as we have all tried disabling these with no
luck.

did you do anything to get it working is
your firewall disabled or no?
Title: Re: Cannot Connect to MyHouse Service
Post by: steven j. marty on December 21, 2005, 01:42:33 PM
Everything is enabled (router, antivirus,
etc.).  I didn't do a thing.

See the other "Welcome to the MyHouse Online
forum!" thread.  I called support and they
called me back (!) and said it was an issue
they were working on.  It started working
about 30 minutes later.
