Can't connect at all
« on: November 05, 2006, 12:25:45 PM »

I keep getting a Verify MyHouse Plug-in Registration error.  The module is registered.  I have enabled ports 80 and 8001 on this PC and have disabled Windows Firelwall all to no avail.  Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

OK I'm not the smartest guy in the world but I have been working in computers in an IT capacity for years.  The problem as I see it is:  I can't even connect to the X10 server.  The open ports on the router don't come into play for that step.  The MyHouse client is making an outgoing request to connect to the X10 server.  If I can't connect to the X10 server I know I won't be able to connect as a client at all from any other machine.  The key to the whole problem seems to be registration of the MyHouse plugin.  The AHP software tells me I'm registered but I guess I truley am not.  One of their support guys told me to look for a file named x10prod.sys.  Do any of you who have MyHouse working have this file on your system?

Yep - it's in C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common\

I metioned deleting a file in in another post. That was the file.

I have this file,  I removed it and was still able to connect, ::) I replaced it and now I can't :o so there is a correlation! ;)
pvignola: have you tried without going through the router there are other setting there that do effect connection?
I can dissable connecting (as I mentioned in another thread) to the X10server just by setting my Dynamic Routing mode to Router from Gateway on my Linksys router.
Other routers have different options! ;)

pvignola:
Are you able to ping myhouse.x10.com?
What are the responses from the MyHouse status window?

Do any of you who have MyHouse working have this file on your system
Do you have C:\Program Files\Common Files\X10\Common\x10prod.sys?

side note: The registration servers can be intermittent and finicky

I am able to ping and even connect to myhouse.x10.com without any problems.  It seems the problem is related to this x10prod.sys file.  After installing it on 3 different machines I didn't see it on any of them, and yes I am showing all files (including system files) in Windows explorer.

Oops...

Well it IS a hidden file, so in floder options you must set it to display hidden files and folders, or (per X10), boot up in safe mode to see it.

If you delete it (I just renamed it .old) all registration info is gone. Don't know if it re-creates on re- registration or just when you start AHP.

Hopefully X-10 will know how to fix this tomorrow after reading my email about how the new reg. number fixed MY problem.
