That looks fine, but again, you were correct earlier when you said the
problem is with connecting to the web interface.

My current suspicion is that something is odd in your network
configuration, but that's only a guess. Are you by any chance running
a firewall or a proxy service?

What OS/version are you running?
What version of myth?
What version of Qt?
What version of the Ceton driver?
What version of the Ceton firmware?


I want you to try a very simple test. Try using the nc or netcat program:
nc 192.168.200.1 80

When you start it you will get a blank prompt. Send the following:

GET /get_var.json?i=0&s=diag&v=Host_IP_Address

and press enter. You should get back the following response:

1c
{ "result": "192.168.200.1" }
0
