Simcfc73 Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Hi, Just got one of these and I cant get it to connect to my internet. Has anyone got it working through Smoothwall? The code comes up but the thing doesn't attach to my internet. Its on a static IP that goes through transparently.
Luke_T Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Any luck with this ... I thought I'd try my chromecast in school and have come across the same issue with not being able to access via a proxy server (smoothwall).
Simcfc73 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Posted June 27, 2014 Its actually sat at home stuck in the back of my TV so could have a play with it so haven't solved it yet. Summer job
stgoodyeara Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 ***BUMP*** im trying to do this, anyone achieved it???
Simcfc73 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Got it to work in school by using a transparent proxy through SW and using a ALLOW ALL rule for it. Am looking at locking this down a bit for safety.
stgoodyeara Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Thats what ive tried, ive got a no authenticating transparent proxy specifically for the IP address of the chromecast. Then i create a port policy for the ip of the chromcast with allow all rule. Still moaning it can't connect to the internet.
robjduk Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Chromecast will not work with enterprise grade wireless. Only for home use I am afraid.
Arthur Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Smoothwall helped set up our Chromecast to work through the proxy after logging a ticket with them. I think these were the settings they changed. http://a.pomf.se/fkgkov.png http://a.pomf.se/kwylwk.png http://a.pomf.se/okmsvt.png http://a.pomf.se/qycsih.png 1
skell Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Got everything working except casting the screen. And this is the one thing I actually want to work
rickjames Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Anyone know if the new Chromecast with Wi-Fi enhancements will make them more friendly for something like digital signage?
theeggmaster Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 The only information I can see is 802.11ac and 5Ghz. Support for proxies or enterprise wireless would be brilliant. I'd love to cast our Chromebooks cheaply.
nathan Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 The only information I can see is 802.11ac and 5Ghz. Support for proxies or enterprise wireless would be brilliant. I'd love to cast our Chromebooks cheaply. never used a chromebook but do they not support android cast? if so reflector now supports it.
CyberNerd Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 never used a chromebook but do they not support android cast? if so reflector now supports it. They work well on Chromebooks, it is Enterprise Wifi and proxy's which appear to be the issue.
pooley Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Mine work fine here using CISCO wifi kit. Transparent proxy based on IP so no issues with internet access either. Just want a simple way to multicast to them for digital signage and i'll be happy.
CyberNerd Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Mine work fine here using CISCO wifi kit. Transparent proxy based on IP so no issues with internet access either. What sort of auth methods do you use? I couldn't get anywhere with 802.1x and transparent proxies. The multicast looks the easier part, and Cisco have some good documentation here: Chromecast Deployment Guide, Release 7.6 - Cisco
pooley Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 TBH we just have WPA2 auth here. Cheers for the documentation
hindertonhead Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Do the new Chromecasts allow you to enter proxy server settings? We previously tried one to cast from our Chromebooks but there was no way to enter the school's proxy server settings. Any help appreciated.
Arthur Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Do the new Chromecasts allow you to enter proxy server settings? No. They work in exactly the same way as the original Chromecast.
hindertonhead Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 ok thanks for the feedback, We also use an apple tv in some classes but the ease of use with chromebooks to cast to screens and whiteboards is what we were after.
myalouise Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 I saw Promethean's new panel at BETT and it had a built in android feature that mirrored any device I forget the model of the panel though.
