Post subject: Games consoles |
|
|
I have read through all of these forums, your user manual and tested myself and I cannot make games consoles work on a firstspot network.
I need a definitive solution that actually works because we are having real problems with this.
Have tried client pass through, passive login.. nothing working. Please advise. |

You simply need to add your console MAC address in the Configuration Manager -> Users as Passive Login user.
Note that Passive Login is not available in Standard Edition. You need to use Premium or Advanced Edition. Please visit http://patronsoft.com/firstspot/buy_now_2.html if you need to purchase an upgrade.

| so I don't need to add them to the client filter as a client pass through? Literally just put as a passive login? As I have tried this previously and had no luck. Do I need to change the NAT settings within the configuration manager? I've seen other threads about this and no solid solution. |

No, please delete all entries in Client Pass-through, and then restart FirstSpot.
Are you using FirstSpot Premium or Advanced Edition?

| Advanced edition - I will see if my clients can access it. Is this the only way to do it, as if this doesn't work I am going to need alternatives. Judging by the amount of views this post has had it would suggest I am not the only one having these problems. |

The Passive Login feature has been available for more than 10 years and have been quite stable.
You can simply setup a test FirstSpot (in a very simple network) and then play with the Passive Login feature. It is actually pretty straightforward.

Xbox is working as a passive login, yet Playstation's wont. Any ideas guys? Judging by the fact Xbox's are working with just passive logins NAT / port forwarding is not required.
Any help would be appreciated. |

Is there any update on this? We have Xbox consoles working with a passive login, however Playstation consoles will not work as a passive login.
The error message appearing is a DNS error (80710102) |

What is the FirstSpot version you are currently using? Are you using the default FirstSpot DNS or change to external DNS (under Configuration Manager -> DHCP setting)?

DHCP setting is FirstSpot default. We have static IPs on the network which have been put in the DHCP exclusion table.
The console is getting a dynamic IP address from the FirstSpot DHCP server. |

Not too sure why. As a workaround, can you set the playstation DNS manually to external DNS like 8.8.8.8?

As part of the DHCP settings we have already set the DNS 1 to IP of FirstSpot and DNS 2 to Google (8.8.8. . |

No, this won't work. Keep the DNS setting under DHCP server as default, and then restart FirstSpot. You need to renew all IP in the client side and test again.
