Thank you for your prompt reply, Dean. I'm home again now and I've fired up ethereal on the Linux router/server and I have a reason for the failure...
The squeezebox connects to the router/DNS/DHCP via the wireless bridge. The Mac Mini, however, is connected entirely by wire. I have configured my firewall to allow internet and DNS only to "registered" machines whose IP address matches their MAC address. There is no firewall between the Mac and the Squeeze so everything is free to pass between them. The Mac gets internet from the router because it's IP/MAC do match, so it's able to supply internet radio to the Squeeze. But... The wireless bridge is replacing the Squeeze MAC address with it's own in all packets it passes through. The Mac doesn't care, but my router firewall does and refuses to supply DNS or internet services! I've adjusted the IP/MAC pair on that firewall rule. I'm now connected and listening to rain through the internet when there isn't any outside. ;-) Thanks, chaps, for indulging me and my questions while I got my lateral thinking into gear. This doesn't help with my radio reliability, but I'll look into that a bit more too. Andrew.
