You have correctly diagnosed that this will be down to a software firewall on your computer (Norton or the Windows firewall). I think you will find this will work if you disable the Norton firewall and the Windows firewall completely. I don't use a software firewall as the one in my Router is enough to block any external attacks. All the Norton firewall is doing in your system is stopping your computer from connecting to other computers and SqueezeBoxes in your network. Software firewalls are pointless for fixed computers sitting behind a router. They have a use in a laptop where you are connecting to wi-fi hot-spots but not otherwise. If you have a Radio or Touch, as of yesterday, you can now get Spotify Premium as a supported SqueezeBox App (hurray!). However, if you want the free version you will still need to sort out DSBridge. Unfortunately those, like me, with older SqueezeBoxes still have to use either DSBridge or Triode's Spotify plugin. Get rid of the Norton and Windows firewalls, they really are a pointless resource hog and causes more problems than they solve (unless you have a laptop). -- TheLastMan Matt *SqueezeBoxes:* SB Duet (Controller + two receivers) *Server:* Synology Diskstation 107+ NAS (with firmware 2.3-1157) running Squeezebox Server 7.5.0 on Synology Package Manager *Network:* Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router, 2 x Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 as access points *Livingroom:* Receiver into Naim 42/110 amp, B&W CM2 speakers *Kitchen:* Receiver into Denon DM37 mini-system, B&W 686 speakers *Study:* Linn LP12, Naim 72/Hi-cap/Headline.
