when i got the SP to work i think it was after a hard reset, but i'm
not sure, it was some time back.  SP can [used to] work over a router
wirelessly tho.  (basically, i believe SP just imitated a SBC, using
the router to do the wireless bit)

btw, my DroidX can see my SBR when its red blinking ad-hoc-ing, (maybe
other times too) and i found this:

so if i figure out how to install it, i'll try that too, but i think it
will need to be wired if red flashing, but maybe not if blue.

i don't have a touch or radio, but pippin said they can't set up a SBR,
so i'm just going by what he said.

anything is possible, but i know this has happened enough times to know
it can't always be the button got pushed.  also, i know for certain a
few times when that didn't happen, and upgrades or whatnot were being
done.  like i said before, my sb2 used to do this when i first got it,
and its been so long since i switched it to static ip that i forgot all
about that, and doing so fixed the problems, so i am hoping going static
on this SBR will be equally successful.

if you do static, and not dhcp, that could be why you don't see this
issue.  most others i'm sure have a SBC, so they just bite the bullet
and re-set-it-up whenever that happens i suppose.

the dhcp method just doesn't seem robust and resilient on ip3k stuff
anyway, and reservations don't seem to help.

i've seen lots of light combinations.  it was blue when i left, but i
can't recall now in what order anything else happened.

the sbs has mysb.com working credentials and the player is not at
mysb.com

the sbr hasn't been to mysb.com in ages and like i said, i had it
working this time with the local server, but after some time for an
unknown reason it stopped.  point noted about keeping a sbc around tho
for easy extraction of bad situations, jic.

you mean only solvable by controller OR net-udap, right?

no, i'll keep the SBC.  i still like it even tho ipeng and
squeezecommander are better.  its still useful here, while at my
parents the only use would be for when the SBR shits itself.  they have
ipeng and one UI is enough.
