Can anyone answer why, when the Squeezebox is unable to connect to the wireless network, it then moves on to the "Retrieving IP Address" (or similar wording) part of the setup instead of showing a message of "Can't connect to wireless network"?
I set up a new, randomly generated, 63 character WPA key (which is a bitch to enter using the SB remote) on my access point the other day. It took me a long time and many tries where the SB went into that 20 second countdown to get an address and then showed a 168.254.x.x IP address. Eventually I realized that the problem wasn't with the DHCP, but that the Squeezebox was never authenticating with the access point. Going through the WPA key with a fine toothed comb fixed the authentication problem. This needs to be fixed. I assume that the Squeezebox knows whether or not it successfully connects with the wireless network, including the authentication? -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18676 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
