Was your android device is on the same wifi network as the Boxee machine? Or were you trying to use 3G?

I have also had issues with this, although it seems to be very hit or miss. I am always using the same wifi, and can confirm I am connected because I wake up my Boxee machine with a Wake On Lan client on my phone.

It seems to be sporadic, sometimes connecting with no problems, sometimes intermittent (every once in a while during use), or sometimes completely broken (doesn't work at all). I always tried to "scan," which often works, but when it doesn't, I manually enter the host information. Sometimes this helps, sometimes not.

I don't have time now, but if would be helpful I can try to replicate the problem and post logs later.
