Oh, you're right. It's slightly more involved, sorry 'bout that! 1) Disconnect SlimServer machine from the network. Wait 5-10 seconds. Squeezebox display goes dark. 2) Disconnect Squeezebox from the network. Screen remains dark. 3) Wait 60 seconds or so. 4) Connect Squeezebox to the network. Wait 30 seconds or so. 5) Connect SlimServer machine to the network. Squeezebox display remains dark, and doesn't come back. You must power cycle the unit or do a full reset (power button held down) to get things talkin' again. Apparently, when my switch comes back to life, it appears to take a few more seconds to get the server ports (GB ports) up than it does the 100mb ports. So the Squeezebox appears to see the link, can't chat with my SlimServer machine (UNIX), and permanently gives up. And that would by why I've also seen this problem on power failures to the house: the UNIX machine takes a whole lot longer to come back than the Squeezebox. The Squeezebox comes up, sees no UNIX server, and then permanently gives up. Since the Squeezebox knows the server it previously connected with, shouldn't it retry that connection from time to time (every 10-15 seconds or so), to see if the music server is back alive? It shouldn't flood the network, but it should retry every so often continuously unless told otherwise via the remote or something ... Certainly, other equipment I have that requires a server connection does this. And my own software (like SlimServerMod, the module that combines a NetLinx automation system with the SlimServer software via the CLI) does this too: If it looses connection to the SlimServer CLI on port 9090, it tries again every so often until it reconnects. -- Jeff -- Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19049 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
