first off networking isn't my strongest area. so are my specs.
I have the latest Eden build installed on win 7 64bit system. I'm running avast for antivirus and firewall. I have a belkin N wireless router. I set up virtual servers for ports 8080 and 9777 the private IP address is set for the system that I am running XBMC on . I keep getting the error on the ipad to check IP/Host, It is correct ip of the system running XBMC. I check the XBMC interface and it is running .
in Constellation my settings are
pc's ip address listed in XBMC
port 8080
username XBMC
eventserver on (I've tried on and off)
everything else is the default
the rest of my settings
The XBMC settings are

router settings :

First, welcome to the forums... Second, it appears on the second screenshot that although you have marked the ports for forwarding they don't appear to be active.
First step would be to make sure both those boxes are checked.
The next step would be (on the iPad) open Safari or whatever browser you have on there and navigate to http://192.168.2.6:8080 and see if it gives you an error.
If you do get an error, try changing the user/pass in XBMC to either include BOTH a username and password, or remove both (don't use a username with no password) and try again. Hopefully, that will solve any issues, but if it doesn't, you can contact me via PM and we can chat via Instant Messenger to solve your problem.
