So, still a few issues I think. I'll try and do it in a timeline, for logic reasons, but also in case it makes a difference in diagnosing any issues.
After the full restart mentioned above, one of the players ( kitchen boom) didn't connect. Maybe significant that it was the player that stayed connected during all the troubles I was having earlier? So, yesterday I switched off the PC and router when I left for work - off all day. Came back home and switched on the router/gateway. Left it to warm up for about 20 mins before switching on the PC. Left that for 10 mins or so before turning on the kitchen boom. It connected OK and played happily. About 20 minutes later I powered up the Touch - no problems there either. I left it at that for the night. The PC/server would have powered down overnight. This morning, I powered up an SB3, and it did a WOL on the server/PC. This obviously took a little while to fire up, but the SB3 player connected and played OK. Next, into the kitchen for breakfast, switched on the kitchen boom that had been working fine the night before. Powered up OK, but couldn't connect to the server. Went back through the set up routine. It picks up and connects to the network OK, but can't seem to find an IP - it says it can't find the DCHP server. other things. The Touch and the SB3 are still connected, but Squeezepad and the Logitech app on my ipad can't connect to the server - which is still running. I can, and probably will, run through the whole shut down/restart routine again, but after having done it twice I wonder if that will make any difference. If the boom can't get an IP address I wonder: Is the router/DCHP server starting to play up (though it seems most of the other gadgets work ok)? Could there be a problem with the boom itself? (though just a reminder that it worked fine last night) Shoild I learn how to, and then implement static IP addresses for static network devices? Would that lead to a more robust system? Thanks in advance for any further advice. As always, I do appreciate it. Aubuti - not quite a "stooshie' yet, but we could be heading that way....!
