AExplorer -- socket cannot be bound
I have booted the Amiga Forever live-CD onto a peecee, and tried to run AExplorer from the dock. So far as I understand it, this is the mechanism that lets me access that machine from a Windows peecee elsewhere on the LAN and see the drives from there.
Well, I click the AExplorer button, and it comes up with a window showing that it has launched into TCP/IP mode and so on, then it comes up with another window telling me: Socket cannot be bound What's going on here? I can fire up Aweb on that machine and browse to the outside world on it, so it's not like the TCP/IP stack ain't working... I want to transfer some files to that machine, but if I can't get Amiga Explorer running... |

You have AExplorer running on both machines (Client and Server)?
You have the right IP address entered? |

I have the client version installed on the Windoze peecee, and so far as I understand it, the version you get when booting from the AmigaForever CD is the server version. How DO you set the IP address in the live-CD version of AF? Or does it get the IP address from the local DHCP server on my router?
Incidentally, I was using AE on the peecee to access my Amiga1200... which is now broken. Last edited by Nomad of Norad; 29 August 2008 at 20:17. Reason: added 2nd paragraph |

The Windows PC only runs the CLIENT part of AExplorer! Just as the Amiga only ever runs the server.
You must have copied the AExplorer server application over to the Amiga, start TCP/IP and then start AExplorer server before you can connect using the PC client. Last edited by alexh; 29 August 2008 at 21:13. |

Let me rephrase myself:
I had an A1200 running, with AE server, routinely, and being accessed from a Windoze peecee. The A1200 has broken. I'm trying to set up another peecee to run AmigaForever, stand-alone (i.e. NOT from on top of Windoze), and then access THAT machine via AE on the Windoze peecee. And I'm getting the error "Socket cannot by bound" on the peecee I want to substitute for the A1200. Clear now? I'm assuming that the AExplorer button on the dock in AmigaForever (launched as a live-CD) is the server version. Am I correct in that? The readme that comes with it seems to imply that, anyway.

Hmm you're trying to run the server on the "Amiga" and keep getting "Socket cannot be bound" message from the Amiga Explorer server application. But the TCP/IP service is running on the "Amiga" because you have internet access eh?... I wonder what else is running in the background? I wonder what the tool-types are for the Server? Can you find out? Last edited by alexh; 31 August 2008 at 09:18. |

Probably the UAE port used is not able to support listeners on the bsdsocket emulation. Or the underlying Linux is configured to refuse listeners.
I wonder what the point is to transfer files to a live-CD environment. When you shut it down all changes are gone anyway. However, if nothing else helps, you could install an HTTP or FTP server on your Windows machine (for example FileZilla Server) and access it using AWeb. |

Duh!
HTTP server! Yeah, why didn't I think of that! I've already got an HTTP server in the form of my Network Attached Storage box... which is where I've stored the programs (archives) I want to try out on this thing anyway! Color me stupid! |
