Hi folks, I've recently added to the 'SB' family, and it's meant some relocating of players.
One of them, an SB1, seems to go through the setup routine OK, until a stage when it says it can't get an IP address for the server and that I need to add that manually. (It then says 'setup complete', but when I press the right arrow again it says it can't contact the server. The IP address on the SB is 192.168.000.011, when I come to the PC itself, and check the IP address in the 'network details' tab, I get 192.168.0.11. This IP address is also the one displayed when I open the 'Netgear Genie' software which allows me to look at the network map (Windows won't create a network map as it says the response from some devices is delayed or there's an incompatible router.) Although there are a few extra 'zeros' in the IP display on the SB, I'm assuming that it makes no practical difference? For info, if it helps, I'm running a Windows 7 machine. Here's the info on the LMS install: Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.3 - 1375965195 @ Mon Aug 12 11:14:33 CUT 2013 Hostname: MacNeill-PB IP: 192.168.0.11 HTTP Port: 9000 OS: Windows 7 - EN - cp1252 Platform: 8664 Perl Version: 5.14.1 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1) Total Players Recognized: 3 ..but - it's been working fine and very stable for ages, so I don't think it's a LMS issue. In an ideal world there would be 5 players recognised + a Controller. This post relates to the SB1; my next job is to go and wake the Controller and another Boom to see if they get picked up. Finally, where I think the real issue might lie is the network itself. We have a two-storey house. The floorboards have a metallised bubble wrap insulation underneath which I've felt has been causing wireless issues. So, I've got a Netgear powerline extender network in place. A couple of wi-fi extenders, and a couple ethernet only. The SB1 is wired into one of the ethernet ones, which is a new install. The netgear genie software shows the extender, and the lights on the extender are all green - but the player just isn't picking up the server. Any thoughts at all? I'll also say I'm one of those "just like it to work" people, not really comfortable or knowledgable in the guts of computer settings. Not an idiot (by my own reckoning!) just not something I get involved in often enough to retain the stuff I do learn on occasion. Thanks is advance!
