Guys, there's some misunderstanding here about how DHCP works. I do not believe that toonartist's issue has anything to do with DHCP. DHCP leases are typically 2 hours, but certainly can be configured at will. Regardless, DHCP renew's occur at 1/2 the lease time, to ensure uninterrupted service using the current IP. The client will continue to request a renewal until it is granted one. Only a broken DHCP server will reject the request for the same IP address, and it should allow the renewal using the same IP. Only when there are administrative reasons, or a broken DHCP server would a new IP be granted.
The disconnect every 10 minutes, if it is that regular is interesting. If this was the station or some intermediate router issues, you'd expect to see less regular disconnects. I can't tell from your post if you have a PC running slimserver, or if you are using squeezenetwork. Either way, to diagnose, I would using something like pingplotter to watch 30 minutes worth of network activity to the inet radio station, while playing that station as well. Pay attention to when the drop occurs and see if there is a coresponding network hicup. If you know how to use a command shell, you can take a look at your netstat info to see what connection you have while the radio is playing, and see what happens to that connection immediately after it stops. Lots of other things to test, but this should get you started. -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18933 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
