I don't get it. This reproduces so easily for me! UNIX box has a static address. Squeezeboxes have dynamic addresses via DHCP. It's possible that the router isn't coming back immediately with a DHCP address, perhaps that's involved? If the Squeezebox doesn't lose power, but does lose link connectivity, and then the link comes back (but the Squeezebox can't immediately get a DHCP address), what happens? Does the Squeezebox retry getting a DHCP address every so often until success, at which point it tries to contact the server? Or does something else happen? This reproduces 100% of the time for me, so something's different. This could be a DHCP issue: My router won't (always) give out a DHCP address unless the router can save it's DHCP database to a remote host (the UNIX system). By taking the UNIX system offline momentarily, then I might have forced the router to cease honoring DHCP until the UNIX server came back. So, end result: If the Squeezebox can't get a DHCP address and then permanently gives up, I'd see the same symptom. Does this help? I could give the Squeezeboxes permanent addresses if that would help to isolate ... -- 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
