Dear all,
Thanks for reading and I hope you can help me. My problem is that I always get a connection refused error message when trying to use the remote on my HTC desire. I'm running xbmc 1:9.11-lucid 2 on Ubuntu 10.04
I have followed the guide from this forum, enabling the two radio buttons (allow programs on this/ other systems to access XBMC) - I've enclosed a screenshot to prove it:

OK - I'm happy I've set up the xbmc settings correctly.
When I check for open ports using netstat, I get:
netstat --all | grep 9777
udp 0 0 *:9777 *:*
unix 3 [ ] STREAM CONNECTED 9777
When I try with nmap, I get:
sudo nmap -p 9777 -sU localhost
Starting Nmap 5.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-06-01 20:31 BST
Interesting ports on localhost (127.0.0.1):
PORT STATE SERVICE
9777/udp open|filtered unknown
I've explicitly opened 9777 and 8080 with firestarter, and have also tried:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 9777 -j ACCEPT
My HTC Desire settings are as in the setup guide, with a capitalised XBMC user name. The Wifi only checkbox is unchecked. I have remembered to turn on wifi with my HTC.
Is there anything else I can check to get this working?
I'd really appreciate any suggestions you might have.
Thanks a lot,
Kitteridge
