Thank you very much for your reply. I'm having some trouble trying this tho. My router is wired - no wireless functionality. So the controller won't be able to connect if i eliminate the access point. But I guess I can wire the router to the squeezebox receiver and see if that works by accessing it from the web interface on the computer. Without having tried this I expect the access point to be the problem, but I will test this theory using your method. What's a packet collision and how does one deal with that? My router has an option for dealing with packet collisions. It's called Excessive Collision Mode and let me choose for "discard" or "restart". By default it's in "discard" mode. Have not noticed an improvement by changing this setting. IP-MAC address conflicts are likely not the problem. My router allows me to bind MAC addresses to IP addresses. All SB hardware and my SBS computer have their IP addresses bound to their MAC address, so they're kind of "static" despite being distributed through the DHCP function of my router. -- kunlun121 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kunlun121's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18101 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65719 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
