Hi Gary, Thanks - I was typing the message below when yours came in.
I realised I had one other option because of where the Touch was sitting connecting it directly to the router via Ethernet. 1) disabled DHCP on the router, 2) Connected Ethernet cable to the Touch and powered it up. 3) Factory reset on the Touch; 4) Connect routine including manually inputting IP address etc. 5) It seems to connect OK but wont connect to MSB.com, and once its stuck in the loop of trying to connect to that, it wont let me go anywhere else. But, if I go into the routers admin page and look for the device as connected, its not showing up. 192.168.0.025 just isnt there. Its MAC address isnt showing up either (in case somehow its not picking up the IP address I thought it would be). 6) Re-enabled DCHP on the router, 7) Powered down the Touch (disconnected the AC supply; left Ethernet cable plugged in) 8) Tried the setup routine again, and the Touch says it cant find a DCHP address. (Entered it manually wasnt expecting to have to do that under DHCP?) 9) Touch tried to connect to MSB.com and cant back stuck in the same loop as 5 above. Touch thinks its connected, but the router admin still doesnt show it. 10) (With DHCP still enabled) Connected via wifi again. This time it goes straight through and connects to the Vortexbox/LMS without any issues at all! So success in one respect except that a) its in the wrong room and b) even if I were to hard-wire Ethernet cable down to the preferred location for the Touch, it seems questionable it would work. I must admit Im lost dont know what to do here. Any ideas where this fault might lie?? *Is it possible theres some sort of intermittent fault with the Touchs network card?* If youve waded through this, thanks very much. As always, any help appreciated. Ta Donald Gary - it will play music OK. Via LMS/vortexbox. The other players (thankfully) seem to have been unaffected by all this. All players are definitely on the same subnet. Need to go off and do 'family stuff' now - spent too long tinekering with this for the moment.
