Hi, I am having major problem with my installation of SC7. Every time SqueezeCenter server is started it completely trashes host name lookups both on my computer and on the WiFi-attached SB player. There are very long delays and eventually about 9 out of 10 DNS lookup attempts fail. No way to browse Internet or check e-mail on the server machine and radio streams and music services do not work from SB player either (checking stream--cannot connect to server). I originally thought this was somehow connected to mDNSResponderPosix which purpose I never understood and which apparently duplicates similarly named one I've had already installed as part of standard network setup. So I uninstalled my system's DNS responder service and deleted mDNSResponderPosix binary from SC7 installation. This did not help. I also tried stopping system's avahi daemon, which is also related to DNS I guess, and that did not help either. So basically, I cannot use SC7 at all since it renders my computer useless. Local music streaming works wonderfully however.
My server box has AltLinux distro installed (kernel 2.6.18). SqueezeCenter was installed from RPM: squeezecenter-7.0.1-0.1.17914.noarch.rpm (and I've tried several builds). WAN connection is via Netgear RangeMax240 wireless router attached to ADSL modem. Name resolution is provided by the router and it is configured to use my ISP's DNS. I have DynDNS name registered for this server box. This should not affect name resolution on the LAN of course (and it never did before I installed SC7) but it turns out there were a few bug reports and complaints on the forum saying that sometimes it does. Needless to say, without SC7 server running all DNS lookups are working perfectly well and completed almost instantaneously. One more strange thing is that even after I stop SC7, my system takes 5 to 15 minutes to completely regain consciousness and resume normal DNS lookup processing. I've checked for some runaway SC7 processes that might have been still running after the service shutdown but could not find anything suspicious. Also, there is nothing particularly interesting in the system logs during this comatose DNS resolver periods. I would be glad to provide any other necessary details if someone be so kind to help me with this problem.
