Cisco Routers + Wi-Fi Transfer Question (Help Needed)? [ Edited ]

[Matrix44]

I'm using an iPhone app called AVPlayer and I'm trying to transfer files via "Wi-Fi Transfer" feature. I have a Cisco EA3500 router and I can't connect to http://192.168.1.144:8080 (getting a SERVOR ERROR message).

Do I have to configure something in my EA3500 router first in order for my iPhone to access this address? 

I've tried changing the HTTP Port but to no avail.

Please advice. Thanks.

It means the web server on your iphone reports an error. That generally means it's a problem on the web server.

I have this issue on 2 different iPhones.

Should I contact the AVPlayer developer inyto finding a fix for this?

I'm pretty sure http:// should be ftp://.

Edit: Well maybe not pretty sure, but it is another option.

If it obtains an address via DHCP, the server at 192.168.1.144 could possibly now have a new address since you last connected to it.. If the server is a Windows machine, you can simply open a command prompt and type ipconfig to find the new address.

I have other applications that connect to the same 192.168.1.144 server with no issues. Could it possibly be related to the 8080 port? Do certain Internet Security/Firewall software BLOCK access to that port?  I'm using Norton Internet Security 2012 by the way.

I have attached 2 screen captures of this, hopefully someone can get to the bottom of this.

Top image is the Wi-Fi Transfer screeen in AVPlayer. Next is the "server error" message I'm getting when trying to connect to that address (tried in multiple browsers - same result)

According to the scenario try to disable all firewall and security center from the computer then check the connectivity status… Otherwise you can even try to do the following:

A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)

          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"

          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.

         3] Then click on Security tab disable SPI Firewall Protection, uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...

B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

No luck. I have a feeling that this has something to do with port "8080" because I have 2 other programs on my iPhone that I can access and do Wi-Fi transfers w/ the following server address: 192.168.1.144:1000 and 192.168.1.144:11111

Will the AVPlayer allow you to modify the port number for the web access address?

Sorry, just saw that you did state trying to change the port.

Have you tried instead to FTP to the other port listed?

FTP works as advertised. Regarding changing the port, I was just mesing around with it but wasn't sure what appropriate Port #s can be used. If anyone knows, please let me know.
