Hi

Just after a little help.

I have a TSU9400 that I have connected to my Home Network router and am able to control my vista WMC OK from my control center (TSU9400) so I know it is all working on the network.

My question is, is there any way of checking that the TSU9400 is connecting to the internet via my network? The reason I ask is that I have tried loading Andy Richard's weather.com xcf (in the File section of this website) into my control center but don't seem to be able to get passed the loading page!

Would this be because of a problem getting the information from the internet?

This is, of course, if I have set up the parameters page correctly! I added the Key, ID, and zip code into the parameters page as suggested (got the zip code for London by going to yahoo.com and getting UKXX0085).
Licence Key and Partner ID I got from the e-mail after signing up XMLOAP account on Weather.com.

Is that the only information I have to add? Do I only add it into the boxes on the parameters page or do I have to add it into any of the ProntoScript?

Assuming I have added the information in the correct place i.e. only in the parameters page, I can only assume I am not able to connect to the internet in order to collect the data required from weather.com.

Hence my question, is there a way to check my TSU9400 is able to connect to the internet via my network? or can someone tell me where I'm going wrong if I have not set up the .xcf correctly.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm going to shotgun several things to try here in hopes that you are up to speed on Javascript and Wireless networking.

It could be that your router is not properly handling DNS lookups. If you can control your PC but cannot hit the net, then it is likely a DNS problem.

What is your connection information from PEP and what shows on the Settings Screen of the remote? What is your router and router firmware version?

The Dev Guide shows an example of doing an HTTP request to google or some other site by host name vs IP. You might want to try that. There are also other small examples of downloading dynamic image content in this forum that I've seen. You could supply a URL from the web and see if you can pull the image.

Hey Ray,

Focusing on the weather module directly, make sure that you add the exact characters in the text boxes, no extra spaces or returns.

I have had an issue with some routers not allowing WAN access while still allowing LAN communications. Try these two steps separately, and see what happens:

Step 1: if you're using WEP, turn it OFF, and set your WiFi as open, no security. (Do that at your own risk). Match up the settings in your config file, and resend to the TSU.

Step 2: if step 1 makes no difference, log in to your router and change the WiFi broadcast from mixed mode to "g only".

Thanks guys

I am at work at the moment so will check when I get home.

Just to let you know, I have 2 routers configured because of the WEP thing, connected another router (WEP) to my existing one (WPA2) and seem to have set it up ok for the network but obviously something wrong with the settings and not allowing me to access the internet via my original router (WPA2).

I'm not a network engineer (as you probably figured!) and was able to configure the 2 routers with a little help from a friend and a bit of trial and error!! :-)

Cheers

OK Guys

Got home and connected my laptop directly to my second router (WEP) and managed to get onto the internet OK. I can only assume therefore that I am doing something wrong with the Weather.com xcf.

I will try downloading dynamic image using the small xcf Lyndel mentioned.

Thanks for your help.

Regards

take a look at the laptop DNS & gateway adress,
set the pronto the same.

Thank you very much Tom.

Corrected the DNS and all is working now.

Thanks for all your help.
