    [SOLVED] Ushare: Xbox says "connecting...". Times out.

    When I activate Ushare, if I stare at my xbox for 5 minutes or so, the name of my share "Ushare" will appear. But if I try to connect to it times out and tells me to check my firewall. Otherwise it vanishes after a few minutes only to reappear later. I don't think I have a firewall because of:
    Code:
    $ sudo ufw status
    Firewall not loaded
    When I start Ushare I get the following:

    Code:
    Interface eth0 is down.
    Recheck uShare's configuration and try again !
    uShare (version 1.1a), a lightweight UPnP A/V and DLNA Media Server.

    (my only network devices are lo and eth0, and also I've been told from people who have it working that they still get the "Interface eth0 is down." error, so I don't think that is a problem)

    I've used synaptic to install ushare version 1.1a-0ubuntu1 (which installed both libupnp2 v1.4.3-2 and libdlna0 v0.2.3-0ubuntu1). I am currently using Hardy. Here is my /etc/ushare.conf

    Code:
    USHARE_NAME=uShare
    USHARE_IFACE=eth0
    USHARE_PORT=49200
    USHARE_TELNET_PORT=
    USHARE_DIR=/mnt/raid/shows
    USHARE_OVERRIDE_ICONV_ERR=
    ENABLE_WEB=no
    ENABLE_TELNET=no
    ENABLE_XBOX=yes
    ENABLE_DLNA=
    Why can the xbox see my share, but not connect to it?

    Thanks,

    P.S.
    If I turn on the WEB interface I can load the page http://192.168.0.6:49200/web/ushare.html on any of the computers on my network without problem.

    Problem solved: I updated to Ubuntu 8.10

    I wish I could give more detail than that. I'm unsure what about upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10 fixed it, but it wasn't working before the update and then was after.

    I still get the "Interface eth0 is down." message, but it works now, despite it.
