Is there some sort of trick to this? I got it all working without too much trouble (WPA) and the wireless squeezebox was sounding and looking great. Then, my daughter turned on her computer, and complained that she couldn't connect to the internet. After a little investigation, I notice that 192.168.1.1 (which should be my WIRED lan's router IP address) was now showing up with the name of the wifi router. Looking at my 'bsd boxes logs, it seems there was a fight between my wired router and wifi router... (arp: 192.168.1.1 moved from MAC#1 to MAC#2 and back). I didn't try changing the wifi router's network, didn't see any obvious place to do so, but since the WAN port wasn't plugged into anything, it shouldn't have been an issue. right? The new wifi router is a LinkSys WRTG54, and I would just replace my regular router (LinkSys BFRS11 or sumthin' like that), but the wireless signal isn't traveling very well between the basement and the kitchen upstairs. -- Maditude _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
