Hi, 2 days ago I picked up one of the last SB2s, replaced my SB1, powered it up, told it all about my WLAN and off it went playing music. Walk in the park.
Or so I thought. This was the first and last time this new SB2 would connect to my WLAN. I have tried everything - no joy. My story goes like half-a-dozen others on this board: o Good signal strength o Easily picks up my SSID - but won't connect (to the beam, never mind DHCP). o The firewall on the router/AP is OFF, ie no MAC filtering. o I have another SB2. Same f/w (15), identical config. No problems with that one. o I use WEP. Since there's so many other wireless devices beaming around my place, I cannot readily reconfig WEP w/o upsetting family so have not tried w/o encryption. Trust me, though, that WEP key's spot-on. o I use 3com 3CRWDR100A - spent 2 (!) hours coaxing latest f/w upgrade onto box. No difference. Arrgh! o Tried various channels, again: no difference. o Incidentally, this also implies that rebooting router makes no difference on SB2 hooking up (some other victims managed to hook up on reboot). o Plugged CAT5 into back to see whether there was life on Mars - played music right away. o Back to wireless - duff. o Wireless SB1 is back in place, playing happily :( I despair. Any other pointers? Thanks - ovr. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
