#45 Could not connect to router: Did not find a router (ver. 2.0.0-alpha1/2)

[Anonymous]

When attempting to connect to the router with the Cling setting, I'm given the following message:
WARN Could not connect to router: Did not find a router

Attempting to use SBBI also gives similar results. The odd thing is that alpha1 was working a few days ago, and attempting to use alpha2 didn't solve the problem. It's possible it could just be something on my end, although I can't imagine what it would be.

Hello,

I think I've solved the problem. When you look in the File Properties you see a message that the file is probably blocked because it came from an unknown computer. When you de-block the file you can run it and it will find your router. Hopefully it will solve your problem too.

With kind regards,

File is blocked because it came from an unknown computer.

When you look up the file properties, you will find on the first tab the message "file blocked because it came from an unknown computer. Just unblock the file and it will run and find your router.

I get the same error message, what am I supposed to do?

[Christoph]

You could try to use a different UPnP library.

what is the file properties?

[Christoph]

I guess the file properties dialog in Mac OS X.
