I had to add -i 192.168.1.2  (the local IP) to the string that's used to start mediatomb.. Pretty much confirming my suspicion.. Mediatomb was bonding to the wrong adapter. All better now.
Now if I could just get my USB hard drive to stop locking up every couple hours.

Yeah, I locked it to 49152.. Added 49152 and 1900, both tcp and udp on both to the ACCEPT list.. And for the life of me, I can't get the stupid thing to show up since installing Shorewall. I've opened up the local network wide open, Mediatomb just won't show up. I don't understand it.

Yeah, onto my SheevaPlug.. Just did an "aptitude install shorewall", configured it and off it went. Using a usb-ethernet adapter for the internet side..

Crap.. Seems to have completely eliminated my ability to use the MediaTomb server that's running on my plug.

Looks like it's a whole distro. Do they have an ARM branch that'll work on the plug? I use "Shorewall" which was simply a Debian package I was able to install on my existing Debian install.  It works great, pretty easy to use.

I installed "Shorewall", and udhcpd. Couple hours of very carefully reading and re-reading the man pages and it worked as soon as I switched everything over. Next step will be to get the "webmin" working on it so I have the web "gui" interface that I've grown found of on my routers.

I have a tired and dieing old Linksys router that runs Tomato currently. I'd like to replace it with my SheevaPlug. I picked up a USB-ethernet adapter to add to my Sheeva. Currently I have a webserver, a uPnP Media Server, and Samba running my my Sheeva. I'd like to keep that all installed and working. My Sheeva has Debian Lenny installed on it. Is there a simple package I can install that'll add router/firewall type functionality with a friendly web interface to my Sheeva?
Thanks for any tips/suggestions you can give me.

Either way, this is standard procedure with GlobalScale. If you calm down and wait, you'll eventually get what you ordered.

I really like the low power consumption, and the low price. I really like that it runs Linux. I like the Gigabit ethernet connection, it shares files very fast.
Pain point, my USB connected 1TB external drive crashes every couple days, forcing me to shutdown the server processes that are using it, unmount the drive, power cycle the drive, fsck the drive (takes several hours), mount it and restart all those processes.
The biggest problem I see for the plug computer is GlobalScale.. They over promise and under deliver. They don't answer emails, and when the original promised ship date slips, they don't say a word. NewIT on the other hand is GREAT, best asset the plug computer has, is them.
I'm glad the GuruPlug has ESATA, I might move to that to get around my USB crashing problem, assuming they fix the major design flaw it has with gigabit ethernet.
Alternatives.. FitPC.. But the price on that thing doesn't hold a candle to this..

Android is Linux. The Sheevaplug ships with Linux pre-installed.

Ouch.. That's harsh for a company that has no previous record of such things, in fact the very opposite, given what this forum is here to support (the plug computer).. I think the price is overly optimistic, but I don't think it's vaporware by any measure.

Check this article out over a Wired.com, Marvell has a new Tablet computer prototype.. Man that would sure compliment my plug computer nicely. $100, that'll blow the doors off Apple, with or without an App store! I figured it was related, so thought I'd alert everyone to the article..

Ahh wow, learn something new every day. Thanks, that did the trick.

I don't have a hub, it is connected directly.. I was hoping it might be the other way around.. Error goes away if I get a hub.. heh.. ESATA FTW..

Sounds like you're problem is hitting a whole lot more often and a whole lot harder than mine. As for me, I'm just going to bide my time till I can get an ESATA equipped SheevaPlug (GuruPlug, whatever).. Seems like the best way around this issue. Not to mention it'll seriously improve the plug's NAS throughput..
