You could have swapped in 1 with a dodgy connection.
you are right about the server<->client static IP configuration. that's why i use the static IP address reserve with DHCP, same as MrC noted. i did not setup one for the SB3 though. i will do than next. what confuses me is the fact, that if this was the case and my router was renewing the leased addresses every 1/2 hour, it would be the case prior to the slimserver installation, and my event viewer would have a record of this. however, it only starts the above stated event record, after i installed the slimserver and connected the SB3 to the router. i truly appreciate all your comments and suggestions -- Risko ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Risko's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2246 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18085 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
