For a while now, unsure quite how long, I have had problems streaming
music from last.fm

Symptoms: When you start a station via last.fm, the first track gets
displayed on the duet, but after 5-10s there is a Connection Timed Out
message and no music is ever streamed. Strangely enough, if you leave
everything alone at this point, further tracks get reported as they are
fetched, but there is never any music streamed and there is no network
activity (ttbmeter). I have previously had last.fm working for some
time (years).

Last night I set debug on last.fm and the server.log does indeed
reported track stats as it attempts to stream music, but no errors.
Perhaps I need to enable more logging somewhere else to try and get a
better handle on what is going wrong? 
I've checked my last.fm account and it appears OK, and is setup for UK
which is correct. I've re-entered the account information on
squeezeserver just in case.

Whilst experimenting lastnight I discovered that I couldn't connect to
mysqueezebox.com either. In fact the menu to switch libraries
frequently didn't provide the option. I logged onto my account and
ended up deleting my player. None of this helped, however I've just
noticed that my player appears to be re-registered there, although to
my knowledge I never managed to successfully connect.

Network diagnostics appear to show full connectivity and good ping
times.

Any ideas/troubleshooting options most welcome. Are the 2 problems
connected or not?

I should add that I have the controller bridged to the receiver and use
static IP addresses. I set this up a couple of years ago and it
immediately sorted out many of the mysterious problems I was seeing at
the time. BBC iPlayer works fine
