Old time X-10, Homeseer user here. Bought Activehome w/ all the add-ins just for fun. (Ok maybe for the "free" hardware.)

So, this all refers to NEW versions, downloaded AND REGISTERED for the first time yesterday.

I CANNOT connect to X-10's servers. I read most of the posts here and followed the advice:

1. Closed firewall(s).
2. Eliminated router (AHP computer connected directly to modem)
3. Tried on computer AHP is on.
4. Tried on different computer.
5. Downloaded activex component.
6. Disabled anti-virus.
7. Set up user.
8. Noted system id.
9. Emailed setup (for accuarcy)
10. XP service pack 2.
11. Even tried dial-up account.
12. Verified registered 15 times!


From the AHP computer I get " Cannot connect...verify registration".
From myhouse.x10.com via IE I get: "Cannot connect... verify system id" (Which makes sense because AHP itself cannot connect.)


From reading here it appears the X-10's servers are at best undependable, and at worst have been down since sometime around mid-october or before.


So has ANYONE (other than those w/ a financial interest in X-10) connected in the last few days?

Is there a propagation time? (i.e. takes a couple of days after registering to connect?)

Thanks,

So has ANYONE (other than those w/ a financial interest in X-10) connected in the last few days?

I have been able to connect all week. In fact, I just did before replying.

The only time I had a problem connecting (from the AHP PC side) was for about a week after the release of OnAlert (coincidence? I think not  )... didn't add or do anything to my PC but about a week later it just started working. But no problems since and I use it every Mon-Fri.

Unfortunately I don't have any other suggestions for you to try, hopefully someone else can add to what you have done already. I figured it would be good to eliminate one variable... the server is working. 

Good Luck

Thanks Puck, that was helpful (hence the +1 helpful point!).

My guess now is that my registration didn't make it to the servers. (It took several retries to register.)

But if it works for others, there is at least hope.

Still open to other ideas.

Thanks again,

GLT

glt: Try the step by set I posted here
Click on help then about to be sure every thing registered!
Then follow the walk through
If the service is up you should connect!
And I just checked as well, it is still up!;)

Hi Tuicemen... how's things at accessha?

Had tried all that previously, but what the heck, once more: (used the computer AHP is on)

From the "Myhouse status" window that pops up when attempting to log on in IE:

"Cannot connect... verify system id"

From the "Myhouse status" window that pops up when you double click the lightning icon in AHP:

"Cannot connect...verify registration"

Oh well, the CM15A isn't even here yet, maybe I'll figure something by then.

Thanks,

GLT

Accessha seems to have shifted more to Insteon which I don't use! 
I thought maybe since you didn't have the CM15A yet that that might be the reason for no connection but I just tried it and thats not the case !
Did you connect to the server first with AHP ? this has to be done before trying in IE!

[glt]

Well, I ATTEMPT to connect in AHP....

By this I mean I click "connect to MyHouse" in the MyHouse menu on AHP.

The little lightning icon then lights up and a mouse over that icon says "Connected to the MyHouse service".

HOWEVER, if you double click that icon the "Myhouse status" window pops up and says:

"Cannot connect...verify registration"

And yes, I did that first.

Thanks again,

GLT
