Create Port Error? :S

[dan1544]

I keep getting a create port error when ever i try and launch the transcode server. error log reads that it is failing to create socket on port 8080. ive tried port forwarding the port 8080 on the static ip address of the server and still no luck.

I've also checked netstat and the port 8080 doesn't show up at all.

I am currently running vista ultimate 32 bit.

connected to a linksys wrt-150 N router

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What use do you have for Transcode server ? Its a useless piece of software that is supposed to facilitate sharing .. nothing that can not be done using your typical windows file sharing settings.

okay so what your saying is that i dont need the software the PBO came with? ive been able to find my computer under both my workgroups and neighbours and i tried the telnet guide but i cant seem to find the files on the pbo? is there any way i can specificly chose on the PBO where to look for my folders/files? Thanks a lot for the fast reply too btw.

Yes :)

ive been able to find my computer under both my workgroups and neighbours
computers running the Transcode Server are the ones appearing under your neighbors, computers with typical windows shares will appear under your workgroup name, thats why using TS gives you no additional benefits.

and i tried the telnet guide but i cant seem to find the files on the pbo?
I am not sure which guide would that bee.

is there any way i can specificly chose on the PBO where to look for my folders/files?
Sure yes, you can setup shortcuts for specific machines on your network, or even specific shares (check "machine shortcuts" and "share shortcuts" in my signature below).

Ive tried doing net>shortcuts>options>add and added my ip and under username guest and password blank but it keeps failing to log in... any ideas?

First you need to make sure that guest account is enabled, or follow the Win7 networking sticky to enable anonymous login (blank user/pass). It might be even easier to use existing login credentials (instead of all the workarounds).

Try machine shortcuts first, right from the GUI no need for telnet, and see if you can connect successfully.

i've succesfully turned on the guest account but i've still not been able to login using short cuts... ive used the telnet guide tho and was able to get Movies folder and Music folder to appear under my HDD in my PBO but i dont know which folder its look into... is there any way to manipulate the following code to look under my D:/downloads? :

mkdir -p /tmp/ramfs/volumes/Movies
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.134/Movies /tmp/ramfs/volumes/Movies
mkdir -p /tmp/ramfs/volumes/Music
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.134/Music /tmp/ramfs/volumes/Music


thanks a lot

Did you share D:/downloads over the network ? is its sharename "downloads" ?
Just replace "//192.168.1.134/Movies" with "//192.168.1.134/downloads" given that the IP of your windows machine is "192.168.1.134"

i still havnt been able to get this thing right! I've right clicked my "download" folder, clicked share and made it accessible for everyone on the network and still no luck :\. I think i might try the simpler way again...

my server pc's static ip is 192.168.1.134. i go into my patriot box and under shortcuts ive clicked options and did add. i wrote in guest with no password and i wrote in my static ip address of this computer. My computer has guest accounts turned on and it still doesnt work... am i doing anything wrong? Thanks

how about using the username/pass of the account you already have on your windows machine ?
Did you try the registry edits in the Win 7 sticky ?
