Hello everyone! i went through a few pages of this thread. superb support here! i request knowledgeable members to please assist me as well. this will be a little long, so kindly bear with me.
i have a 'blind' SB3; got from a friend. it wasn't so, until it reached me. powers up well. toslink light lit up (solid red). my laptop can detect it in the wifi-network. showed it to a few technicians. they laid down their arms even without giving it a proper look. have tried all the methods like rmeoving the W/L card, trying facotry reset, etc., but the display just won't come up! now the only options left with me are to use NET::UDAP + get a PSU from ebay (although i have been using 2 recently purchased locally-made PSUs of the same rating as the bundled PSU) + send it to one more technician in another city, who inspires some hope of the VFD getting repaired. anyway, i tried the UDAP method y'day. my ultimate aim is to use it in conjuction with a GoFlex Home, which has debian and squeezeplug loaded onto it. i would stream my music-files to the NAS, which would then be used with the SBC to play the songs on my floorstanders. however, initially now, i just want to test the SBC with my desktop, so lets forget the NAS-thing for the moment. the desktop is connected to my router with the ethernet cable, and not wirelessly. so y'day, i was trying to establish a connection between the SBC and my PC. what i did was: - connected the SBC to my router with wire, ie, through LAN cable. - powered up the SBC into factory reset mode. - started UDAP on the PC. - UDAP discovered the SBC. - now, to set-up the network, what i did was typed the wired DHCP command-line, ie, -set interface=1 lan_ip_mode=1 squeezecenter_address=192.168.1.190-, and -saved_data-, and -reset- (192.168.1.190 is the IP addr. of my PC). - this did one thing atleast, that my router recognised the SBC, and handed it over an IP address (192.168.1.2) - then i installed LMS on the PC, but the squeezecenter didn't detect my player. obviously, am going wrong somewhere. hence, need your help. kindly suggest what should be done. my network specifics are: - DHCP enabled - Authentication type is WPA-PSK - Encryption is TKIP/AES - PSK is all letters (13 letters in all) but these will come useful if i use the wireless mode for the SBC, isn't it?! however, for now, am trying to set-up a wired connection (even though the SBC's W/L card is functioning flawlessly) with my desktop, just for testing-purpose. please advise. thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheSeeker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57861 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
