So, been trying to get to grips with this for the last hour or so - thought I was getting somewhere, then it all just went pear-shaped again. I logged into the router via a web utility and checked what settings I could. Then I went round and tried to connect the players again. This seemed to be going well enough. I got an SB3 (wireless); the Touch (ethernet); and an SB1 (wireless via powerline extender) to connect. Next up was an SB1 (powerline ethernet) and that wouldn't connect. Passed on that and tried the last one, a Boom (wireless) this wouldn't connect, despite finding the SSID after a factory reset. Took it upstairs next to the router, and while it will connect to the network, it won't find the server. I've had to manually enter the Server IP address, and it just gets stuck in an endless: "connecting". Now, without my doing anything, two of those players mentioned above have dropped of the LMS control panel (but still show as connected on the Netgear Genie utility! as does the Boom that's stuck in the 'connect' loop. (Edit - tried another factory reset of the Boom that's sitting next to me, and when I get to 'select music source' it says "No Squeezebox Server Found" - despite the fact that it's running, and able to play via two players.... It will connect and play music via mysqueezebox.com. I've added the info below in case that helps pinpoint anything. Finally - and I hope/suspect this might be significant, though I don't know why - in LMS, in the 'choose player' drop-down box at the top right of the screen, I was getting about 4 of the players to show, but there was a line drawn across the options, below that the system name was listed, and then the Touch. I clicked on the Touch and got a message: "This player is currently connected to MacNeill-PB - do you want to connect it to this LMS?" Selected 'yes', and now it appears above the line, but all the other players are gone.... -Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.3 - 1375965195 @ Mon Aug 12 11:14:33 CUT 2013 Hostname: MacNeill-PB Server IP Address: 192.168.0.8 Server HTTP Port Number: 9000 Operating system: Windows 7 - EN - cp1252 Platform Architecture: 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: 2 Library Statistics (-deleted for space reasons- Player Information Information on all identified devices connected to Logitech Media Server Garage SB2 Player Model: Squeezebox Firmware: 40 Player IP Address: 192.168.0.8 Player MAC Address: 00:04:20:05:8d:d6 Wireless Signal Strength: 50% Squeezebox Touch Player Model: Squeezebox Touch Firmware: 7.7.3-r16662 Player IP Address: 192.168.0.5 Player MAC Address: 00:04:20:22:ac:20- If I can get this sorted, I will then look at static IP addresses as per Gary's post. Any clues in all of this? a reinstall of LMS? Router nearing the end of it days? And apologies if this is all a garbled 'stream of consciousness' - I'm trying to explain things logically, but might be failing miserably.
