Hi,

 

Starting problem with new ALIX.3D2 board I received yesterday:

 

I receive an "error: Failed to resolve host name"   after a mpc command(s).

And the MPD does not work (can not browse music files on IPOD Touch).

 

Can anyone please help.

 

Kind Regards

 

Hans 

 

The things  did after unpacking:

Connected board to Windows Hyperterminal via null modem cable an changed
file

/etc/network/interfaces to:

 

            auto lo

            iface lo inet loopback

            allow-hotplug eth0

 

            iface eth0 inet static

                        address 192.168.1.30

                        network 192.168.1.0

                        netmask 255.255.255.0

                        broadcast 192.168.1.255

                        gateway 192.168.1.1

 

This works  I see the device as 192.168.1.30 after reboot and can work via
PuTTY.

 

Changed /etc/fstab by adding the following line:

 

192.168.1.78:/share/Qmultimedia /mnt/public                   (the place
where my music is located)

 

Then as in manual:         mkdir    /mnt/public

                                    mount -a

                                    ln -s /mnt/public/
/var/lib/mpd/music/public

chmod -R ugo+r /mnt/public

 

This also works. After ls -l command I see all my music files listed in
/mnt/pubic directory.
