wifi Peekbox 4

Question

Hello, I can't configure the wifi on my Peekbox 4 500 Go. After applying wireless network, I can't access the SSID and network key configuration. Do you have a solution? Krob.

Hi for those who can't connect to the wifi, it's simple: make sure your firewall isn't causing any obstacles, that's all, after that it works fine!!!

nono · Answer

Hello, yes applicable solution like for me. To ensure already it is necessary to: the wifi ssid (router or freebox) then the key (if there is one) in the network settings you need to choose wired or wifi auto ip address  On the wifi settings side, you need to check: if the channel is the same as that of the router (otherwise switch to auto) make sure if it’s wep or not for the network key  It’s after in run (windows: I did a "cmd"  to do a ping test (for the ip address of the peekbox 4)  ping 192.168.0.?? < IP to my Peekbox  Sending a 'ping' request to 192.168.0.10 with 32 bytes of data:  Reply from 192.168.0.10: bytes=32 time

Additionally, it is necessary to install the network protocols: (page 177 of 446 pdf file) NWlink IPX/SPX/NETBIOS it is necessary to look for the guests (page 179 of 446 pdf file) The last network protocol: (page 181 of 446 pdf file) NETBEUI

Hello,  Are you satisfied with your PeekBox? I read that you cannot copy files to the PeekBox via Wi-Fi, is that true?  I am looking for the documentation in PDF format, can someone send it to me? My email: stephnews2 at gmail.com  Thank you in advance.

Salut, tu peux trouver la documentation sur le CD fourni avec la Peekbox.

Hello everyone,  I have a Peekbox 4 with Wi-Fi connected to 3 PCs running Vista (ouch, ouch)  Despite all my efforts, I am unable to communicate between the Peekbox and the PCs. (Wi-Fi APP successfully set up on Peekbox)  In CMD, the Ping command on my Peekbox works well with good response times.  I think it must be a sharing issue.  Regarding sharing (all my PCs communicate well with each other. Guest mode activated + permissions OK on PCs) Firewall disabled on Vista as well as on the FreeBox router   I really don't understand what's wrong.  Could it be due to the fact that Vista doesn't have NetBeui capability (provided on the Peekbox CD for XP) which would render the Wi-Fi mode incompatible with Vista?   Ps: Let’s hear it, gentlemen, I’m waiting for your brains to help me out :p

brupala · Answer

It would be a shame for this peekbox to only work with netbeui. It is likely that it should work with IP, maybe activate netbios on tcpip. -- and ... There you go!

Here is Peekton's response regarding the impossibility of getting the Peekbox 4 to appear in Windows Vista:  Hello,  Your network configuration does not depend on the operating system of the computers connected to it.  However, access to certain information may vary depending on your equipment.  To connect your Peekbox 4 to your home network, you need to check the following points:  SETUP > NETWORK: AVAILABLE: WIRELESS  IP CONFIG: MANUAL  IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.3 (the last digit is the number you assign to the Peekbox on the network)  NETWORK MASK: 255.255.255.0 (most often)  GATEWAY: 192.168.1.254 (254 or 1, this is the IP address of the router on the network)  SETUP > WIRELESS: ESSID: your network name (respecting uppercase and other characters)  CHANNEL: the channel number used by the router  WIFI SECURITY: AUTOMATIC  WEP ENCRYPTION: WEP (if you are using a WEP key with your network)  WEP KEY: enter your WEP key here (if necessary)  WIFI APP: press ENTER to connect the Peekbox to the network.  If the SUCCESS message appears, your Peekbox is connected. If the FAILURE message appears, try connecting by disabling WEP encryption on your Wifi network.  If you are unsure of the IP configuration you entered, you can make an Ethernet connection in Auto mode to ensure the addresses are correct. Then keep the automatic configuration while only changing the "wireless" availability.  You can check the connection of your Peekbox from your PC:  Start > Run and type "cmd" then Enter. Then, in the black window, type: ping 192.168... (IP address of your Peekbox on the network).  If all ping packets are received correctly, then your Peekbox is connected to the network.  Folders must be shared from your computers and accessible to guests.  Then you need to perform a "REFRESH" from the navigation menu of your Peekbox.  Feel free to contact us by phone at 0820.03.03.03 for more information.  However, if despite these checks, your Peekbox does not connect to your network, it may be defective.

Bonjour,  Hello, I have a problem that if I type in my SSID I cannot use the sign "_" but that is part of my SSID. What can I do?   Sorry for not speaking and writing in French.

patate34 · Answer

However, it is important to be aware that it is impossible to access the PEEKBOX 4 via WIFI from your PC. The manufacturer has not implemented the NDAS system, in other words, the ability to transfer/delete/modify files via wifi or ethernet port... Q.E.D. For more information, you can visit the following forum: https://forum.hardware.fr/hfr/VideoSon/Materiel/topic-peekbox-peekton-sujet_99464_1.htm  or consult the online petition (and even sign it...): https://www.mesopinions.com/petition/  I think you will understand a lot of things and the justification for our actions towards Peekton...  Hoping to count you among us!!!

rainer · Answer

Thank you very much PATATE34....but I don't understand French very well and I don't understand your message... do you speak English, German or Spanish??????

patate34 · Answer

Bonjour, vous devez changer votre Essid et supprimer le signe "_", car vous ne pouvez pas utiliser ce symbole avec votre PB4. Désolé... D'autre part, vous devez être conscient qu'il est impossible d'atteindre le PEEKBOX 4 en WIFI depuis votre PC. Le système de fabrication NDAS ne l'a pas implémenté, en d'autres termes, vous ne pouvez pas transférer/supprimer/mette à jour les fichiers via le wifi ou le port Ethernet... . Pour plus d'informations, vous pouvez consulter le forum suivant (uniquement en français désolé) : https://forum.hardware.fr/ ou consulter la pétition en ligne (et même la signer...) : https://www.mesopinions.com/petition/ Je pense que vous comprendrez beaucoup de choses et la justification de nos actions chez Peekton...

rainer · Answer

Merci patate34 pour ton aide, je pensais à changer le SSID et je pense que je devrais le faire. Mais y a-t-il des informations sur Peekton concernant un nouveau firmware ? Je ne peux pas le trouver sur leur page. Le problème, c'est qu'en outre, je ne peux pas taper la clé WEP parce que la Peekbox n'autorise pas les touches de G à Z... c'est le prochain problème... où puis-je trouver une mise à jour du firmware ? Merci pour ton aide.

patate34 · Answer

Le correctif 1.1.19 est disponible à ce lien : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8QGV0LC2  Cordialement.

rainer · Answer

Salut patate,  merci beaucoup pour ton aide...je suis vraiment content de cela. Sais-tu si la mise à jour du firmware résoudra les problèmes que j'ai ?  rainer

patate34 · Answer

Je ne sais pas, Peekton n'a rien dit à propos du 1.1.19... Tu dois écrire au support de Peekton à info@peekton.com... Bonne chance !

rainer · Answer

Bonjour Patate,Merci encore pour votre aide....je suis toujours désespéré :La Peekbox est maintenant connectée au routeur (Zyxel), qui affiche le menu Peekbox "sans fil réussi".Mais maintenant, j'ai le problème que je ne peux pas voir la Peekbox dans l'environnement réseau. Elle n'apparaît pas lorsque je la cherche sur le réseau depuis mon ordinateur portable qui est également sur le réseau... peut-être que vous connaissez le problème et pouvez m'aider à nouveau...Rainer

patate34 · Answer

Rainer, vous ne pouvez pas voir la peekbox dans l'environnement réseau. Le NAS/NDAS n'est pas autorisé dans la peekbox 4. Donc, vous ne pouvez pas transférer/supprimer/mettre à jour les fichiers via le wifi ou le port Ethernet...
Il y a une pétition contre PEEKTON à ce sujet :
https://www.mesopinions.com/petition/

Connaissez-vous un forum en anglais sur la peekbox 4 ? Nous essaierons d'étendre notre action contre PEEKTON...

rainer · Answer

Merde, alors c'était la plus grande et la plus coûteuse erreur que j'ai jamais faite en achetant du matériel... c'est vraiment idiot, c'était la seule raison pour laquelle je l'ai acheté... grrrr

Non patate, je ne connais pas de forums en anglais, c'était la raison pour laquelle j'ai contacté le forum français ici. Je pense que tu ne trouveras pas de forum en anglais parce que le peekbox n'y est pas vendu... Je l'ai acheté en Espagne parce que j'y vis... donc je parie qu'il y a des forums espagnols, mais mon espagnol est trop mauvais (comme mon français) pour comprendre les forums... ou ils demandent d'être inscrit

Is it all over? Have you seen the announcement on Peekton's website stating that they won't do anything?
Is there still any hope despite these so-called security excuses?
They really tricked us!!!!!!!

josagama · Answer

This response from Peekton seems completely senseless to me.

To drown the fish or to drown the Peekton?

Some users have managed to achieve the result we are looking for (transfer in both directions via Wi-Fi) through some tweaks.

I don't understand why Peekton is hiding behind this security problem.

Hello everyone,
I also have a peekbox 4 but I can't connect to my PC. On the peekbox, I can see my PC appearing under the HD, but when I try to access it, it says access denied.
A little help please
Thank you in advance

feihung · Answer

Personally, I managed to connect my Peekbox 4 to my PC and I have Windows Vista. Obviously, it only goes one way PC -> PB4. So here you go for those who want to know if it works with Vista, you have your answer.  For those who pollute the forums with their petitions, please read and understand the problem being raised before posting nonsense. Especially when someone asks how to connect a Peekbox 4 to a PC with Vista in a wifi network. Check it out here: https://forum.zebulon.fr/topic/131753-peekbox-4-reseau-sans-fil-sous-vista/  If you read carefully, the person wanted help regarding the wifi network with Vista and the PB4, and the response was off the mark. So Patate34, I understand your frustration regarding the NDAS system, but please read the topic before posting anything.  This was just one example among many.  So for those who want to connect their PB4 to the wifi network with Windows Vista, let me know, I will explain how to do it. (only reading files from the PC with the PB4, the reverse is not yet possible without changing the firmware)  With that, have a good day.

patate34 · Answer

Thank you, feihung, for this clarification. Fortunately, there are people like you to set things right.  It's definitely easier to accuse people of posting nonsense than to try to improve things with PeekTon...  Also, funny way to respond to a zebulon topic on the ccm forum?!?  But since you have all the knowledge and never answer off point, it must be part of the best practices!   By the way, who was asking about the PB connection under Vista in this topic? I couldn't find it...   One last clarification, when you say "without changing firmware", I hope you're not counting on PEEKTON, because you should know that Christmas exists, but not Santa Claus ;o)  But you surely signed our petition to try to move things forward for PB4 owners!   Thanks again for your clarifications. I hope things are better for you now ;o)   See you later!

feihung · Answer

Here is what I did to connect the PB4 to a Wi-Fi network with Windows Vista:  ON YOUR PC:  1- Enable your guest account on Windows Vista: Control Panel => User Accounts => Manage another account or Add or remove user accounts => Enable the guest account.  2- This step must be performed carefully.  ---- For Windows Vista Home Basic or Premium (visual support: https://support.mvixusa.com/support/login.sas?serviceurl=%2Fsupport%2Fs%2FShowHomePage.do :  Start Menu => in Search (under All Programs), type regedit then press enter: the registry editor opens.  Go to the folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa Then double-click on the value 'everyoneincludesanonymous' and change '0' to '1', validate by OK. Double-click on the value 'NoLmHash' and change '1' to '0', validate by OK.  Now go to the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters Then double-click on the value 'restrictnullsessaccess' and change '1' to '0', validate by OK.  Close the registry editor.  ----For Windows Vista Basic (visual support: https://support.mvixusa.com/support/login.sas?serviceurl=%2Fsupport%2Fs%2FShowHomePage.do :  In the taskbar at the bottom right, right-click on your Wi-Fi network icon and open the Network and Sharing Center.  Enable file sharing.  Close the Network and Sharing Center window.  3-Open Windows Explorer and right-click on the folder you want to share. Select 'share'. In the sharing window, select the guest account from the drop-down menu, then click 'Add'. Click now on Share.  Repeat the operation for each folder you want to share with the PB4.  Once steps 1-2-3 are finished, restart your PC.   ON THE PB4:  To connect your Peekbox 4 to your home network, you need to check the following points:  SETUP > NETWORK: AVAILABLE: WIRELESS CONFIG IP ADDRESS: MANUAL IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.3 (the last digit is the number you assigned to the Peekbox on the network) NETWORK MASK: 255.255.255.0 (most commonly) GATEWAY: 192.168.1.254 (254 or 1, it is the IP address of the router on the network)  SETUP > WIRELESS: ESSID: name of your network (respecting capital letters and other characters) CHANNEL: the channel number used by the router WIFI SECURITY: AUTOMATIC WEP ENCRYPTION: WEP (if you are using a WEP key with your network) WEP KEY: enter your WEP key here (if necessary) WIFI APP: press ENTER to connect the Peekbox to the network.  If the message SUCCESSFUL appears, your Peekbox is connected. If the message FAILED appears, try connecting by disabling WEP encryption on your Wi-Fi network.  If you are unsure of the IP configuration you entered, you can perform an Ethernet connection in Auto mode to be sure of the addresses. Then keep the automatic configuration by only modifying the 'wireless' availability.   Once you have configured the PC and the PB4, select 'REFRESH', you should see the shared folders of the computer appear on the PB4.  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  To Brupala: you are right, that’s why I posted the solution above. However, I am disappointed that you say I criticize without evidence because I have several in addition to the link I provided the first time. Understand me, after searching and landing on forums where the only answers were about the petitions while the main topic was not that, I was furious and this caused my post in this forum. Just in this thread, you can see that responses 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 23, 25 are almost the same; one would have been enough. If you think I wrote my message because I had nothing else to do at this hour in the evening, I can’t say anything... Finally, when you say I brag, I hope it's an interpretation of my syntax that makes you think that, surely it’s me who chose the wrong words...  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  To Patate34: Know that I responded on this forum because this site is one of the most visited and shows up among the first when you search on Google. Moreover, tekelus (post no. 7 of this topic) asked for help on Vista => response to your question 'who asked about connecting PB 4 under Vista in this topic, I didn't find....' So I notice that even in this topic, you only read a few words, hence the question above to which I responded^^ and then when you write: 'Last precision, when you say "without changing firmware", I hope you are not counting on PEEKTON, because one must know that Christmas exists, but not Santa Claus ;o)' I just have to tell you: reread what I wrote: 'So for those who want to connect their PB4 to the Wi-Fi network with Windows Vista, tell me, I’ll explain how to do it. (only reading files from the PC with the PB4, the opposite not being possible yet without changing firmware)' which means that I will explain how to read files from the PC with the PB4, as the opposite is not possible without changing the firmware; I don't know how you read it...  Finally, no, I have not signed the petition, it seems that the PB4 MK2 is in preparation, and I do not know of any company that has yielded to a petition while a similar product will soon enter the market.  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Last thing: the person who marked post no. 31 of Patate34 as useful, I do not know on what criteria he decided this.  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Finally, for those who are unable to read their shared files from their PC with their PB4, say more about your configuration, I might BE ABLE to help you... I hope to have already helped you with my post.  Bye

You say: "I didn't sign the petition, it seems that the PB4 MK2 is being prepared, and I don't know of any company that has backed down in the face of a petition when a similar product is about to hit the market!"
Beware, Buddha has spoken!
Well, you should have signed that petition ... because I agree with Patate34, that's how you make things happen. Do you think it's normal not to be able to progress in reading a piece? And the concept of "jukebox" that remains completely enigmatic? I'm only talking about basic things that have existed for over 20 years on CD players. We're not even talking about Wi-Fi connection ... Let me also teach you something else that you probably overlook: Given that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, you are the kind to seem smarter before you open your mouth!
And to quote your words: I hope the interpretation of my syntax is clear enough for you.
PS: I signed your petition, Patate34 (thank you for making it available to me)

Manfred · Answer

Houla ... I think you’re making a big confusion! I have nothing against your nickname and even less against Buddhism or any forms of religion. You said earlier: "For those who pollute the forums with their petition, please read and understand the problem at hand before posting nonsense." In terms of subtlety, tolerance, and zen-like calmness ... anyway! I foolishly thought that the idea of a petition wasn’t so bad to move things forward and to have a more developed firmware to satisfy the most people. I even called the hotline (the number is in the documentation), they are very cool ... they understood the issue I had and took my contact details to "pass on" the information. A petition is simply expressing a request for corrections in the next update. If you have another solution, I’m all ears! And I’m not going to wait for the PB4 MK2 when I just bought the Peekbox 4. It seems to me that this is a forum about the Peekbox where all ideas are worth considering, and I prove it to you with a big THANK YOU for your valuable advice, I quote: "If you want to advance the playback of a piece, a tip: you can cut the part you don’t like from your song before transferring it to the box^^"! ... By spinning a vinyl on the index of one hand and moving across the grooves with a flint held in the other hand, maybe we could produce some sound ... even advance and access the pieces more easily. We’re making progress, we’re making progress ...

manfred · Answer

Hello,
I'm resending my message because apparently, the first one didn't get posted on the forum :-(
I was saying that your idea about firmware compatibility with the PB4 MK2 (even if it's not a solution) is really great. I will call the hotline as soon as possible to get more information on the subject.
I will regularly lurk on the forum since I haven't "tested" the wifi yet... I have a feeling it probably won't work the first time. I will likely have some questions to ask you about this topic that you apparently know quite well. So I'll talk to you very soon, and have a good evening!

manfred · Answer

Good evening,
I have encountered my first big problem with the peekbox! I transferred files to my peekbox and everything went well! I was able to watch movies and listen to mp3s. I wanted to make a second transfer, so I connected my peekbox to my PC via USB. During the transfer, I got an error message, and I couldn't continue the transfer... I reconnected my peekbox to my TV, and now nothing... my folders are nowhere to be found! My peekbox appears empty because when I right-click on the hard drive of the peekbox, I still see the 110 GB that I downloaded. Why can't I view anything when I connect my peekbox to my PC or TV? It seems empty in both cases. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance!

feihung · Answer

Good evening,
do you remember the error message?
Are the hidden files displayed in the folders?
Try connecting the hard drive from the peekbox directly to the PC, that is to say, open the PB, remove the HDD and connect it as 'slave' to your PC (don't forget the jumper;)) and see if you can access the files.
For now, try that while I look to see if there's another way?
Is it the PB 4: 500 GB?

feihung · Answer

Hi,
I searched and ultimately your problem seems similar to what is described in this topic:

http://www.infos-du-net.com/forum/51417-10-fichiers-invisibles-prenant-place-disque

There’s a solution in there, I hope that’s it and that the solution works. ;)

manfred · Answer

Thank you very much for all this information!
To answer your questions: No, unfortunately I have no memory of the error message and Yes, it's a peekbox with a 500 GB hard drive. I will try your solution (opening the peekbox ...) which seems like a very good idea. However, I will wait to read the link of the topic you sent me to see if this solution might work. Thank you for that and for responding so quickly ;-)
