MJMD5 problem! Have to keep restarting it....

Post by Spider210 »

As the topic says, once I conenct to the MJMD5 and works fine. But once I disconnect I can not reconnect until I stop the MJMD5 and then start it and then it will connect again. What seems to be the problem?

So I am assuming no one else is having this problem?

I am using MJMD5 proxy and using sip on an itouch at the moment. Once it's connected I can make a call but say if I turn the device off and turn back on in 10 minutes I cannot reconnect to the MJ proxy it says timed out...after numerous trys.. I have to hit 'stop' and then 'start' and sip program starts in 2 seconds and connects. I have tryed this on more than one computer and experience the same problem each time. Does anyone else have this issue or what? I cannot find the answer and its fusturating that no one is replying :/

When I'm playing around and use MJ with MJMD5 it takes a few tries to get everything to register. It's not unusual to have problems. You have to remember this is a hack and likely to have problems. I wouldn't want to try MJ with a device like this because of MJMD5 more aggravation than I would care to deal with. This approach is more ideal for people who use ata's and are running this setup all the time.

Use IP addresses everyehere. For example instead of using atlanta.talk4free.com, use 216.234.78.8.

Doing things this way removes the step of DNS lookup over your network/ISP. This will greatly reduce the problem you are having but may not eliminate it completely.

Sounds good. Will try it out tonight, for I have the same issue since I installed yesterday.

Spider210, does it work for you?

No, it does not help at all. I guess once MJMD5 is on (which has the proxy of proxy01.city.talk4free.com), it is not an issue of hostname vs. IP address anymore.

Did you use the IP address in the MJMD5 config instead of the proxy name?

Yes, everywhere (that means mjmd5).

OK then, that's about all I have to offer. I had a similar problem and that cured it for me. Maybe someone else can help you.
