So you have a need to make room for 3*255 -1 devices ! But all the hosts should have the same netmask rigth ? That would be number one thing I would try still keeping it 255.255.252.0 On all hosts and then see if the server broadcast work ( players automatically finding the server via udp broadcasts on port 3483 ) If that flunks I would go to the typical small network setup of 255.255.255.0 again on all hosts . Squeezeboxes are a bit peculiar regarding networks , there seems to be some bugg conected to almost all "not typical home network settings " hence why many uses static ip on them and do not use the dhcp function , for example there is bug in the reciever when the dhcp server is not the typical 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or the corresponding one for networks with 10.x etc as base adress ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97980 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
