I've been having some problems with my wireless network which are mainly down to me buying an Actiontec GT701-WG in a moment of weakness (note to self: never again). Frequent router reboots seem to help, but a new peculiarity has got me stumped.
At the weekend, I updated the router firmware to a Qwest specific version as it was much more recent than the generic firmware and I suspected that it might have fixes for some of the problems I was seeing. The firmware seemed to work fine (my PC and laptop connected to the router with no issues and internet connectivity was fine). However, I just could not get the SB to find the Slimserver. Checked and double checked all the settings, forwarded ports, everything seemed fine, but nothing would play. Softsqueeze worked perfectly. I gave up frustrated and went to bed. Yesterday, I decided to try with WEP turned off and bingo, everything worked. However, turning WEP back on results in Slimserver not being found. I cannot figure this out. The WEP key is correct (it's the one I've been using for the last year and the SB remembered it, so it's not like I've re-entered it incorrectly). The router can see the PC and the laptop with WEP on, but I just cannot get the Slimserver to work. I'm not keen on running with no security. Other than swapping back to the old router firmware, can anyone think of anything else to try? I can't understand why the router firmware would have a WEP problem which only affected the SB. Any ideas? -- Fifer _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
