thanks Gary, it's no wonder there's confusion with the length of these posts! I'm trying to set out a timeline that details all the steps (on the basis of providing as much information as possible), but I'm slightly surprised anyone's trying to follow!
Point 10 above - when I tried to connect via wifi ( and via DCHP ) for a final time it just all worked - the Touch connected quickly, found the VB/LMS and plays fine. So I know the Touch -can- connect, and I know it -can- play music, I just don't understand why it seems to be inconsistent. I'm sure you're correct that it's some sort of network issue. My problem now is getting it to connect/play in the downstairs room I want it to be in. I reckon your advice about a methodical power down/ restoration of the network is probably a good idea. But I'm just really loathe to turn of the other 7 squeezethings that are working fine, because past history tells me one or other of them will also take the hump and stop connecting. They've all been stable for weeks or even months, so I'm reluctant to upset them. I think my house has issues with the AC ring circuits between upstairs and downstairs - they are different circuits, with the trip switch panel in between. I guess this explains with powerline ethernet works well upstairs, not so well downstairs. I also have foil-backed insulation under the upstairs floorboards, which I guess has to be upsetting my wifi signal. So I've realised that I can install a second router downstairs as a WAP more easily than I thought. AC power is already close-by and all I really need is 10m or so of Cat5 or Cat6 cable plus some drywall cable boxes to tidy it up. I reckon I'll try this first. It might not really seem like the easiest answer - but it does to me. This also ought to improve the signal for another Touch downstairs. I'd accept it probably doesn't get to the bottom of whatever the connectivity issue is - but all I really want to be able to do is stream music!
