Thanks to both of you for your suggestions. I've done some more experiments and figured out that the most likely thing going on is that the receive portion of the wired network interface has died. I will be contacting support, and hopefully receiving warranty service.
I hadn't tried a packet capture yet because I couldn't find my crossover adapter, but I just got a new one today and ran some tests: Test 1 - crossover adapter between SB3 and laptop, capture on laptop: The squeezebox seems to be transmitting correctly over ethernet, because I see a sequence of 2 packets from the SB3 repeating every 1-2 seconds: 1 - an ARP request from the SB3's mac address for the IP address of the server I was testing with (which has a fresh install and a tiny music library), please tell the static IP I had assigned to the SB3 2 - SliMP3 protocol discovery requests Device ID 0, firmware 0.4 - When I connect the SB3 to the network again, it still can't find the server or get an address for Squeezenetwork, so I believe the ethernet interface is either not receiving correctly, or else there is another problem with the network hardware in the squeezebox. Test 2 - SB3 on network, capture run from the host running the fresh squeezecenter install: - From the SB3 I see the exact same repeating traffic pattern as in Test 1 above. - From the Squeezecenter host, I see Squeezecenter replying to all of the requests from the SB3. Clearly the SB3 is not seeing the responses from the server, and a dead ethernet receiver on the SB3 would definitely explain it. Also, about the wireless networking problem, I noticed that when I plugged the SB3 in after being unplugged for over 24 hours, it gave me the wired/wireless connection choice! Even a factory reset in the menu doesn't give you that choice back. Unfortunately, running the SB3 wirelessly is not an option for a number of reasons, the least of which is that firmware upgrades are dangerous over wireless. -- guirara ------------------------------------------------------------------------ guirara's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30844 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64222 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
