![]() ![]() I check the status of UPnP in pfsense and see that one of my ReadyNAS devices (an embedded Linux device) is registered, so something is working somewhere inside pfsense, I presume at this point. Services on the network are performing as expected to this point, but alas, the chromecast softwares cannot find or discover the device on the network and so setup fails. Now on the home network side, I can see that my chromecast device shows up in arp (it shows the mac it is using in the setup software briefly) and it successfully hits dhcp and is given a lease. If they fail to find each other, the chromecast setup fails and backs out. At this point I presume the setup software running on your phone/laptop begins searching your home wireless network for the device. You tell it to connect and the chromecast device begins trying to connect to your home wireless network and your phone/laptop disconnects from the chromecast wireless and tries to reconnect to your home wireless again. Select your home wireless network, enter passphrases etc. After you verify you're connected to the right device with a code acknowledgement, you select on your phone/laptop which wireless network the chromecast device will ultimately connect to. The setup software connects your phone/laptop to the chromecast network (yes, you get disconnected from your other wireless networks) and they connect up. The install software is run on your laptop or phone. The chromecast device broadcasts a very low powered 802.11 network - very short range and I have to stand pretty much right next to it. ![]() I opened up pretty much all ports on the full class C:Ī bit about how it appears chromecast does it's setup. To start I have enabled it with pretty much everything running and will dial back from there. I have enabled UPnP and see it is working.Īug 16 18:58:59 miniupnpd: HTTP listening on port 2189Īug 16 18:58:59 miniupnpd: Listening for NAT-PMP traffic on port 5351 I know about the dangers of UPnP, but this is my small home network and I can live with it there. My problem seems to be, as reported by Google here, at google, is that I didn't have UPnP enabled. Everything except my wireless, but my AP is simply a dumb radio with an ethernet cable in one side - it does not do dhcp or provide any other network services. PFSense is all infrastructure on my home network. I'm trying to run my new chromecast device on my home network.
