I now have 2 SB1s, 2 SB3s and one SB1 wire-less. Over this weekend, I finally took the wire-less one out for a spin (had been using it as a standard 3 wire before that).
The setup was as follows: in my girlfriends spa, wireless ethernet from laptop running slimserver to WAP, then wireless ethernet to SB1. But the wireless card in my laptop is something like 5 years old, and I thought, maybe I should check for a software upgrade. So I asked Windows XP if it had a better driver. It did, so I installed it. It came with all sorts of new features, including little bar charts of signal strength, multiple configurations, an offer to automatically reconnect if it disconnected, etc. I played with all the knobs, turned on all the auto-reconnect stuff, and off I went. For about 2 songs. Then the laptop reported no connectivity, the SB (being only a 1) ran out of music in 5 seconds, windows XP wouldn't automatically reconnect without asking me if it was OK, etc. I reconnected, did it again, it happened again within a song or two. I rechecked all the settings, yes, i did have automatically reconnect turned on, it did it another 5 times and I said, OK, that's it, I'm going back to the old driver. Downloaded a driver from the linksys web site (it was a linksys card), it has half of the features of the WinXP supplied one, but D!!N, it works. Like a champ. For 2 hours before I shut it down. Not a hiccup. The driver was from 2002 or 2003, but worked like a charm. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19610 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
