The router comprises a firewall. This is disabled. MAC filtering is a firewall function, so it ain't happening. I can tell you, this SB2 behaves in the strangest manner: o I did disable WEP whilst noone was looking. All my other SBs went down, naturally. I reconfigured the suspect SB2 and ... yes, online it came - w/o a hitch. o So I restore WEP. All my other SBs come back, the suspect one drops out. Naturally. o I reconfigure the encryption and ... no problem grabbing carrier, no problem obtaining IP, then comes "Connecting to SlimServer...", where it gets stuck. o When I press remote to reconfigure, up pops "Now Playing" - eureka! Just slotted SB2 into its designated space, rebooted - same behaviour again: "Connecting to SlimServer..." until you press a key. Still, it connects using 128bit WEP. I am (somewhat) happy. Thanks. Don't know what my take-away from this is? Never connect a SB unless you first ran it w/o WEP? Very odd. Thanks to all. PS: Reason I wanted to replace the SB1 was shoddy wireless performance. SB2 in the same locale has 25% better reception. Says sthg about the quality (sic) of the wireless card in the SB1... -- ovonrein _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
