[Q] How to open ports on rooted Nook ST? - Nook Touch General

Hi all:
I would like to use an App to control my Logitech Squeezeboxes via my rooted Nook. However, the App does not find my Squeezeboxes on my network. I did some testing and found the problem:
On my rooted Nook, the ports 9000 tcp and 3483 tcp/udp seem not to be open (as seen w/ a port scanner).
However, these ports are used to find & communicate w/ the squeezeboxes.
-> How can I get these ports opened on my Nook??
(Note: This is a Nook internal problem - it is not the router / firewall blocking these....)
Thanks for your help.

P.S. I would have posted in the android dev section, but as a newbie, I am not allowed to.....

Does nobody have an answer to this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks, Heiner

Huh?
A port scanner looking at the open ports on the Nook is not going to show much except 5555 for ADB.
Are you saying that you can't connect to a 9000 port on a Logitech whatever-it-is from a Nook?
Are you using an app from Logitech or are you writing one?

Hi. Thanks for your feedback.
And yes: I can't connect to a 9000 port from the Nook.
(Also, I am using a Logitech App, which is not working.
There is a similar App form a 3rd party, which works. But I would like to use the Logitech one)
However, I don't understand your comment 'looking at the open port....'. Why should I see only 5555?
I also so 21 for FTP, but not the ports I need.
Again, I am a newbi, but that is exactly what I want:
Looking at port 9000 from the nook. To my understanding, that needs to be open on the Nook - and it isn't.
(On the other end - a Synology NAS, where the Logitech Squeezeboxserver is running, I can check the relevant ports and they are open.)
Any ideas?
Heiner

If the 3rd party app works, almost certainly your NST is permitting traffic out on port 9000.
What Renata means is this: you are on a PC trying to connect to 9000 on the NST. Nothing is listening on 9000, so there is no connection. (I am interested that ftp is listening, and wonder if that might not be a side effect of how it is rooted or an installed app.)
The test you need to do - and it was probably successful but not visible to you, from the success of the 3rd party app - is to issue commands using port 9000 FROM the NST itself.
The simplest way:
connect via ADB
su
from the ADB shell, try
telnet a.b.c.d 9000
where a.b.c.d is your squeeze / synology box.
If you get an answer, then you have reached it, and the problem is with teh Synology software.
I run a DS 409 at the house, and the Android client for the box, well, it is not very good.

USB-HOST?

I came across this the other day
http://htc-vogue-100.handster.com/software.php?id=3339&for=HTC+Vogue+100
It uses the vogue's USB-Host??? Does the vogue have USB-Host driver???
I'm only asking because i'm interested in using Zeno USB host drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480899, but the device requires to have usb-host.
thoughts?
thanks.
I'm not sure what your intentions are, but if it's just for use at home, use MyMobiler. It's free and allows you to control your device throught your PC.

[Q] telnet or ssh

I am new the the Android game especially the tablets. I have searched high and low and I can not find an answer. I want to know if anyone has used their tablet to telnet or SSH to a Cisco or other device using the USB connection.
Has anyone atleast thought of this as an option?
Better terminal pro has a ssh app that may suit your needs?
FWIW, I use the app connectbot to ssh to my router (Netgear) and nas (Qnap). But that's via the WiFi, I don't know if you can connect via USB.
^^
Bjorn
ssh
I know that I can connect via WiFi I wanted to know if I could console into the device. I want to know if the USB be is a multi function port.

[Q] What exactly works from the USB port on the Iconia Tab?

I'm looking to get a tablet to introduce BackTrack 5 to. I don't believe this tablet has a wifi chip capable of injection, so I wanted to connect a USB wifi adapter to it (this one right here). I read in the update it's able to register the usb port for usb devices, but which exactly work without me having to create a driver? And, I'm sure there are linux drivers for said USB adapter, I assume I could take that and (easily) create one?
From what I've read so far, the USB port handles things like hard drives, keyboards and flash card readers (and not necessarily all of them).
A Wi-Fi adapter may function under Linux but you would probably have to be rooted on the device to install drivers since they are not natively included in the system build that I know of.
Backtrack 5 works fine on the A500. I'm running it right now. I've had no issues with it.
i posted a thread in the accessories section on compatible usb devices

Do you have any success with it or just running it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I am thinking about putting Backtrack on my Iconia A500. Following up on a previous question by NickkxNekro, would one be able to plug the Alfa wifi device into A500 and make use of it?
im assuming yes since you can use 3g usb dongles

[WebTop] USB to Ethernet is OK

Hi,
WebTop (with full ubuntu mod) works fine with Trendnet TU2-ET100 (asix chipset).
I have just added these 2 lines in "/osh/etc/network/interfaces" for DHCP autoconfiguration :
auto usbeth0
iface usbeth0 inet dhcp
Doum
Nice to know. Ethernet might come in handy for a lot of people docking as their PCs.
I guess any other USB ethernet card that works with a normal Linux PC should work here.
Hello there,
First I would like to say that I'm glad that in the last few weeks i finally managed to let my heavy 15.4' 9 cell Dell Laptop on the Office and bring home the Atrix + LapDock everyday including weekends and holidays
I have what i need on my LapDock + FullUbuntu: gedit, gnome-terminal, OpenOffice, PDF readers, Psi+ (jabber client with PGP Encryption), GNUPG, Mumble Voice Chat, Firefox (with client SSL certificates ) and OpenVPN.
Everything else, like e-mail, music and video players i'll prefer running on the Android
So, i want to buy this USB -> Ethernet adapter to make it even better!
I thought buying the TrendNet but it seems somewhat bigger than other adapters that use the same "chipset" (ASIC). I also find those adapters cheaper than the TrendNet one:
http://www.ebay.com/dsc/i.html?_nkw...=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313&LH_TitleDesc=1
I think i will buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-REAL-US...ltDomain_0&hash=item56471dfaff#ht_2136wt_1026
It seems great but now i'm not entirely sure what's the chipset on the TrendNet: AX88772A or AX88772B?
The one i'm buying uses the AX88772B.
The difference seems to be very small, the drivers seems to be the same and the "B" version supports checksum offloading and it's intended for Low Power consumption. Here's the detailed specs of both chips:

http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101
So, what do you guys think?
Did you get it yet? If you did, how does it work?

I bought this one from Deal Extreme:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0-10-100mbps-rj45-lan-ethernet-network-adapter-dongle-34691
It's really cheap, small and uses the AX88772B chipset.
But i'm not able to test yet, simply because it's not here yet
I bought using standard Air Mail that takes something like 20 days to get here in Brazil... And when it does arrive here it's going to take 10 more days (or even more) for Brazilian (Fuc***) Customs to release it for Brazilian Postal Service to finally deliver it... This sucks.
But well, i promise that as soon as I get it, i will test and put the results here.
Merry Christmas!
Post resurrection alert!
I tried this with an Airlink 101 today. I didn't add the extra lines listed in the OP, but I did start the dhcp client manually and it got an address and webtop was happy. Does anyone know if the android portion of the phone is able to use the wired Ethernet connection? From my quick test it didn't seem like it did.
I have a much slimmer Cisco USB to Ethernet adapter that I plan to try. I used the Airlink because it was lying around on my desk doing nothing.
And with all the webtop talk starting up, this may be of interest to others.
AX88772B not working
Well, mine did not work
I bougth this one from DealExtreme:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0...r-dongle-34691
As i said before, it uses the AX88772B chipset.
I have confirmed that and installed the driver for my MacBookPro and it's working just fine.
I have downloaded the drivers from:
http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101
It's noticeable that there is also a driver for Android but it's the source code, not the compiled kernel module.
So i think i'll will need to get the Atrix kernel source compile the driver with the headers and prey to work...
Maybe it's something with my ROM... I have updated to the latest Motorola official 2.3.6 build for Brazil.
Could you guys tell me what's the output of these two linux commands, as soon as you plug the USB device ( the last 10 lines or so):
$ dmesg
and
$ lsmod
Victor.
This is awesome.
Can't wait until they bring the webtop to CM7. It was a loss when I upgraded, but the smoothness and capabilities of a CM7 rom are worth the loss of the webtop... for now.
It's good to know that when it get's working again I can use a USB to Ethernet with the Ubuntu mod.
Thanks!

Don't hold ur breath.....cm9 is underway don't think webtop is gonne come yo cm7 but u can always mirror with lapdock
root, make changes, then unroot
Would like to be able to use a usb ethernet adapater on my unaltered Atrix running 2.3.4. If I were to root, make the changes to the two lines and then unroot again, would the changes remain?
In Post 6 above there is mention of the usb ethernet adapter only working under webtop. Is there a way to make it work on the phone itself as well, i.e., for the phone browser / market / email / etc.
Hello.
When it connected to my HDDOck - eth0 not detected. In the webtop (I webtop2sd) lights icon - an unknown usb connection ...
Any advices to solve this issue ..

A nearly 2 yr old dead thread just had to be brought back to the surface? esp with your results being the same as the previous member's results?

USB Detect - Very Confused

Hi, I've been reading, re-reading and reading the Android SDK docs about USB connection.
I have developed and application which is quite useful however, after many days and hours of research I cannot for the life of me figure out how to detect:
When my handheld device is attached to any device (macbook, PC, laptop)
Communicate between connected device and handheld using USB
Detect keystrokes on connected device - when I type on the, for example, laptop which my handheld is connected to using USB I'd like to detect when I type on my laptop
Detect any other events such as opening of a browser, application or whatever on connected device using USB
I don't know the vendor information of device what the handheld will be connected to using a USB cable.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, I'm not asking for a solution more a tips, hints and maybe someone knows a library which already handles what I need to solve?
Many thanks in advance.
Detect Connected Laptop/Desktop Events USB
*edit* What I need is a way to find detect keyboard strokes from the device connected to my Android smartphone.
Is it possible to detect whether the handheld is connected to a desktop/laptop and using USB detect the events on the laptop/desktop?
It's looking impossible at the moment. I have spent quite a few days just figuring it out and have got no where.
Thanks in advance.
