Well my SB3 finally got delivered just before Christmas - after I had
left for a tour of the "out-laws" in the UK!!
After much Turkey and alcohol, I eagerly returned to set the beast up!
I already own the SB1 (Graphic Display), and had voiced some fears
about all the wireless woes being discussed on these forums,
particularly as the SB1 was a breeze to setup.
Firstly - what a stunning new look and display, gorgeous!
After upgrading my antique Slimserver to 6.2.2 (from 5.3.1!!) I was
relieved that all went smoothly - no startup problems, no crashes etc
Then I went for the wireless setup of the SB3, first off I got the
dreaded 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address. This is using the D-Link 624 (Rev C).
The SB saw the SSID but wouldn't get the right IP from the DHCP.
The remedy was thankfully obvious - disable the "Super G" mode of the
D-Link router (was previously on Super G with no Turbo). After this all
connected fine and I am in music heaven again!
Weird though that the old SB1 didn't care about the Super G setting...

Anyway, just thought I'd share this, plus have the chance to say what a
fantastic product again Slim...
