ralph, just a thought, and i'm vague on the details, but i've seen situations where two "802.11" products will not talk reliably to each other
hence the non-profit www.wi-fi.org, which created the "Wi-fi"
certification mark for the subset of 802.11 products that have been
tested as interoperable.
if both ends of the network (perhaps all devices on it?) are not "wi-fi" certified, you may have incompatible devices
hopefully others with better knowledge can cut in at this point...

Thanks. Still rebooting at random.
My DHCP lease time is the standard Linksys 1 day. Shouldn't be a factor, one would think.
It just happened again -- rebooted. Even though IP is fixed and network is hardwired to B only.
-d_protocol log shows:
2005-02-24 13:30:00.8762 Got discovery request, deviceid = 2, revision = 2.8, MAC = 00:04:20:05:87:b3 2005-02-24 13:30:00.8763 It's a squeezebox 2005-02-24 13:30:00.8763 calculated rehome length: 17 2005-02-24 13:30:00.8765 sent discovery response
Any other debugging I could set that will help?
I will try different channels and see if that helps.
Any help is still appreciated.

Even if you don't have any offending devices in your own home, a neighbor 100 feet away could easily be causing some of these problems.
One of the things you should do is try a different frequency on the access point and see if it has an impact on the problem.
Also static addressing should help if your DHCP server has too short of a lease time to the squeezebox.

Subject: RE: [slim] My NOT good wireless experience
I would like to report my very recent bad wireless experience and ask a question...
I just switched over from wired mode to wireless. I bought a Linksys WRT45G (v2.2, firmware 3.03.6) and used all the defaults. Using WEP 128-bit. DHCP addressing. Signal strength on the sbox a good 90%. No wireless phones in the house, and the microwave, when on, didn't seem to cause any problems.
After a smooth hookup and looking like it was working fine, I immediately encountered the problem of spontaneous squeezebox reboots. I probably saw half-dozen reboots in the first two hours.
I saw the problem where there were multiple back-to-back reboots, the reconnect countdown getting to 10 before stopping and rebooting again.
Bummer.
I read a lot of old threads about this problem, but I didn't see any
sure-fire solutions. Was there a consensus on the cause/solution of
this reboot problem? One thread seemed to indicate that static IP addressing helped, but another reported that that didn't solve it.
What's the final upshot on this problem?
I've now set the router to B-only and static addressing in the meantime, and it seemed to help, but I haven't ran it for that many hours yet.
Thanks,

I too would like to report a good experience with wireless
SB. I have
2 wireless SB's (mind you they are on their own WAP) and have no interference from microwave or 'phone. In fact both of my WAP's
are
on the default channel 6. I do not stream lossless but I do
stream
mps with no additional compression. I can now play my mp3's or internet radio anywhere in my house.

Yes, it should probably be clarified and emphasized to
the newcomers
and/or lurkers on the list that the debate over wireless
performance
and suitability applies only to streaming lossless PCM audio. If you stream (or convert and stream) MP3 the SB has proven
to be quite
robust. Virtually flawless in my experience.
