mkdir cannot create directory

I suggest if you don't know what IP addresses to use, don't use the ones that Windows and the PCH default to, instead use the two I suggested earlier one on this thread.

Default Gateway is 192.168.1.1
I already gave PC 192.168.1.10 and PCH 192.168.1.11 as static ip's.

But I'll try ...1.2 for PC and ...1.3 for PCH.

How can you have a gateway IP on a direct connection? That routing could be causing you some issues.

It's not a direct connection. It's going via a Linksys router.

Or am I not getting it? I'm not a network expert.

Thx

Ok, so your problem isn't like gandalo's at all, it is likely just a network permission issue.
Make sure the username and password you use for the mvpmc share is the same as you configure for the share in the PCH software. You can confirm the permisions work by placing a video or audio file in the the mvpmc share and playing it with the PCH software.

Since you are behind a router I also think the risk of running a guest share are greatly exaggerated. By simple vs. secure it doesn't mean that running the guest share makes your home network vulnerable to any real threat.

I tested a video file in the smb share folder and it plays perfectly on the PCH.

[mvallevand]

I don't like asking for files with passwords but I'd like you to upload your script.cgi file so I can check the syntax.

Mmm, if there has to be a password in it, this might be the cause, because I didn't put one in:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Content-Length: 360";
echo "Content-type: text/html";
echo "";

cd ~
mkdir /etc/mvpmc
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/ -o username=guest,ro;
cp /etc/mvpmc/utelnetd /usr/bin;
utelnetd -l /bin/sh -p 23 &
ln -s /lib/librmjpeg.so /lib/libjpeg.so.62
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.1
ln -s /lib/librmzlib.so /lib/libz.so.123
echo "Telnetd started on port 23............";
exit 0;

[mvallevand]

Well then you need to update it to include the missing information

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.10/mvpmc /etc/mvpmc/ -o username=___,password=___,ro;

Fill in the blanks.

Alright thanks, one step closer. I filled it in, but now when I click on telnet, PCH keeps on searching and nothing happens. Just the sign in the left upper corner keeps rotating. Any ideas?

Thanks for being so patient.
