OK, after much hair pulling and head bashing, I finally got this bad boy
to work. Prior to this, my Slim 3 was getting a bulsh%t IP from my
network (169.XXX.XXX.XXX) and wouldn't connect to my slimserver. Here's
my setup:

Slim 3
Belkin FSD7633-4 router secured with WPA-PSK
Win XP on a PIII

1) After screwing up every setting possible, start with fresh factory
defaults by unplugging the Slim 3, holding down 'Add' while plugging
the power back in. Make sure you also have slimserver running on your
PC.

2) Setup your router with the bare necessities, none of that turbo and
54g protection crap. No NAT, port forwarding either. Most of what you
need to check is in the Channel and SSID screen. Not sure if it
matters, but my SSID is only one word. I switched it from two words
before it all started working. Wireless mode is '54g-Auto'. Broadcast
SSID is 'on'.

3) On the Slim 3, setup the network. Follow the instructions, using
DHCP, BUT enter in the SSID manually. Not sure whether this  matters
but someone on these forums mentioned this works. 

Before I knew it, I was connected to the network and the slim server
and was listening to Fela Kuti's Open & Close! Fitting.

Merry F-in Xmas!
