Can't access internet - Unable to connect to remote server

wisebear · July 23, 2017 at 10:09 AM

I have managed to configure a dual boot on my HTPC - running LibreElec and Windows 10. However, Kodi has no access to the internet, but web adresses can be successfully pinged via LibreElec SSH shell. Below you can see ifconfig respond.

Have already tried to set IP address automatically and manually. I also attach Kodi.log. Do you have any idea where the problem is?

The "Wait for network" option is enabled?

Yes it is.

Internet access works after I manually downgraded LibreELEC from 8.0.2 to 8.01. It seems like my hardware doesn't like recent version.

Edit:

It seems that my Kodi cant reach Internet...but every share in my LAN...

but I dont know why... every other device in my LAN is able to reach every website...

SFAIK I do not have any blocking rules on my router

Edit2:

Now I connected Kodi with a new hotspot-internet device, and Kodi still does not reach

any update-server. This means that there is nothing wrong with my Internet-access(LAN)

There must be something wrong within Kodi...

pls smb hlp me!!!!!!

Hi!

Finaly I solved my problem by myself.

Because noone helped me in this case, and I coud not solve this problem (I tried several installations) I decided to give OPENELEC a try on my NUC...

and it works perfectly out of the box!

This means:

-nothing wrong with my NUC

-nothing wrong with my LAN-configuration

I feel really sad, that nobody offered my any help!

It is summer and people are having vacation

And your problem is basic one:

Code

CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Couldn't resolve host name(6)

I'm facing a similar issue in my NUC, how did you managed to solve this?

Set correct DNS server in LibreELEC settings. Somewhere under network.

PHONNEO · July 28, 2017 at 2:38 PM

Hi vpeter!

THX for your hint, but my DNS settings coming via dhcp, to all of my LAN-devices, and evey device (nb, tablet, cell...) is working correct.

But anyway... I tried this solution before, I used Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and it didnt work either.

For me it is fine now. I dont care neither LibreELEC or OpenElec. Its only the system on witch Kodi is runnin... and a short splashscreen when it startsup...

THX!!!

PHONNEO, in you log you can see

Code

ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: Couldn't resolve host name(6)

which indicates dns problems. And you need to figure out yourself what exactly.

But you already fix the issue. All good then.
