Hi I posted this on the udap mailing list but repeated here in case it didn't get through
------------------- Hi I expect you are fed up with the same old ignorant newbie questions but I am at a lost as to what else to do. I have just purchased the receiver only part of the Duet with a view to controlling it with my ipod touch. I understand this is possible with apps like the ipenq. I also understand that the official handset is required for setting up a new squeezebox receiver but that the net::udap utilility was created to emulate the handset and allow you to do it from your PC without the controller handset. So. here's where I'm at: 1. I have broadband through O2, using a re-branded Thomson ethernet/wireless router/adsl box. 2. I have a PC running Windows Vista and Ubuntu linux connected to the router using a cable. 3. I have installed the Squeezecentre v7 software on the PC (under windows) 4. I downloaded and installed this UDAP windows executable: slim2lirc.myown.mailcan.com/udap_shell_1_0_0.exe 5. I connected the SBR to the O2 router using a cable 6. I used a browser on the PC to open the router admin page and check it could see the SBR. It does, althought the status field says "Inactive" (the status field for the connection to my PC says "Active"). 7. I checked the light on the SBR. It is slowly flashing red about once every 7 or 8 secs 8. I ran the UDAP executable program on my PC. It opened a command line with the prompt Udap>. 9. I typed "discover" at the prompt 10. A bunch of messages appeared on the screen (about a dozen lines) saying something to the effect that the program expected something to be returned with a length of 6 characters but was getting 0 length responses. 11. Prompt re-appears 12. I typed "list" 13. Some underlined headings appeared on the screen but no further information 14. I'm completely stuck. As you may have gathered, I am not TCP/IP networking savvy nor a programmer. I have tried to follow any forum posts or references I can google but most of the instructions, advice, tips and examples are somewhat over my head. I have dabbled with some rudimentary javascript and asp classic before but mainly I am a html/css coder and I have an IT team at work to deal with all the technical stuff, so although this Squeezebox stuff sounded straight forward enough at first sight, I very quickly got in above my head. I would prefer not to have to buy the handset, so if someone could hold my hand I would be extremely grateful.
