[Voyage-linux] Voyage MPD New Installation questions

[Patrick Keane]

Hi,

I am installing Voyage MPD on a AMD LX800 CF motherboard, (An A510 
Fujitsu Siemens thin client box, £10 new on Ebay all sold now though).

Voyage-MPD installs OK  and runs audio through a ESE DR nano USB DAC. I 
have it connected to my wifi router using a USB wifi dongle and 
connecting with a static IP address. As a test condition I am running 
from a music directory on a USB stick on the A510 Voyage box.  When I 
have got it all going I will connect using nfs to my NAS where I keep my 
main music repository,

I have a couple of queries

1. I do not need the iptables or dnsmaque programs running.   My systems 
are behind my adsl router/firewall and DNS is provided by my ISP.  What 
is the correct way to remove or disable them, or even stop them being 
installed when I install voyage?

2.  As a test I can remotely control the MPD player using GMPC on my 
desktop (wired eth0 connection, to 4 port wired/wifi router). This works 
WELL!!!!

However I would like to control the MPD server via MPDroid or another 
similar app using  my  Epad ZT-180 tablet, WiFI connected.

No matter which Android app I try, the apps will not connect to the MPD 
server. (I have set in the app, the IP address of the MPD server, the 
port and tried with and without password.)

 I have an Android mobile phone, so I tried that, result exactly the 
same... no connection to MPD.

Another test I tried on the tablet, was I used the tablet's web explorer 
to wifi connect to the Voyage web administration page via my router. I 
logged in and could navigate and use the various features, including 
some parts of the web page MPD control.    So the tablet could connect 
through port 80 but not 6600.  I know Port 6600 is open on the Voyage 
box, because I can connect and control MPD using my wired desktop system 
and GMPC.

I have even dug out the wired ethernet connecter option for the tablet  
and connected the tablet to the router with a wired connection, still 
same problem

MPD log does NOT show any errors!  This leads me to think that both my 
phone and tablet cannot connect to port 6600, but I do not understand why!

I have Googled  for similar problems, but everyone else seems to have no 
problems connecting using MPDroid from their mobile phones, so  I am 
completely baffled as to why I cannot make a connection.

Has anyone any ideas on how I can fault find this problem and rectify 
it? Is there any cli based tcp port monitoring s/w I can use on the 
Voyage box?  I tried netstat, but it either shows a connect through 6600 
when I use my desktop system or no connection when I use the tablet.

thanks and regards

Patrick
