Hmmm. Sorry to hear, f-fred, that things are still not right. What you describe could be more than a problem of double IPs; it may be that there is still some other problem - which may, perhaps, even have led to the double IP symptom in the first place. Fred, I'm not a squeezebox expert, I'm just reasonably comfortable with networking aspects; I only have receivers, but I do use them on wireless. We're going to need some more help from others, especially people better informed on Touch and on Radio. Since you repeated the start up sequence, I think we can make an assumption that the underlying IPs are ok - nothing has complained about duplicates. Problems lie elsewhere. I think there might be wifi problems, and I think another poster's suggestion of resetting the Radio might be needed. In general, I prefer not to do that because any 'personal' settings you have entered will be lost. But, if there aren't any personal settings, or you don't mind losing them, then restting the Radio might be a good move. If you hadn't said anything about the Touch, I would have immediately suspected the possibility of interference on WiFi. There may still be interference, affecting the Radio (and I want to ask about that in a moment), but that doesn't explain why the Touch indicated some strange - to you - status, but I can't deduce anything from that because I don't know what it should be showing in these states when your laptop is off, and just restarted, etc. Could someone else comment on what the Touch might be doing? Fred, could you recap exactly what your setup is, so that we can understand the service delivery? I think you have: Router, with ethernet and wifi Do you have any switches or hubs in the network, with other devices connected to them? Laptop, with ethernet(?), and running SBS server(?) Do you have any other computers or devices connected to the router? Touch, connected to the router via ethernet Radio, connected via wifi How far is the Radio from the router? What are any intervening walls, floors, constructed with? What does the SBS system say that the received signal strength on the Radio is? What are the working states that you have, for example: Can the laptop reach internet ok? Can it do so when Touch is switched on? Can it do so when Touch and Radio are switched on? When only laptop and Touch are on, can Touch play from my music? When only laptop and Touch are on, can Touch play from mysqueezebox.com? Now, thinking about the possible wifi interference that might lie behind the Radio problems, what you describe is consistent with a new, recent, source of interference, such as a neighbour wifi signal, or even a new domestic equipment, creating some interference. Have you installed a new microwave, for example, or anything, somewhere near the Radio? Thinking about the wireless activity in the area, is the router or Radio within, say, 50 metres of any other premises (above, below, sideways, whatever)? If not, then wifi interference is unlikely, and the problem will lie elsewhere. Does the laptop have wifi? Is it active and connected to anything, for example, to your router, or to another external wifi network (by accident, perhaps)? If your laptop is (normally) connected with ethernet, make sure that the wifi system on the laptop is switched OFF, and redo the setup, and see if the problems go away. Are you using Bluetooth on the laptop? How many cell phones are there near the radio, that have bluetooth active? Does the problem go away if the cell phones are switched off? Fred, sorry not to be able to conjure an instant solution, but some extra circumstantial info will help us solve it. I'm sorry it seems such a lot of questions, but there are a number of possible causes of which we'll be able to rule some out. And I do hope that folks knowledgeable about the Touch and Radio systems can chime in, here. regards, Atlantic -- Atlantic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atlantic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88522 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
