I am having a problem setting up my new SB3! I have connected it all up, but at the end of the "Network Setup" process I cannot get it to connect to my SlimServer. It connects to the Wireless network fine (and gets itself an IP via DHCP), but then it insists I give it an IP address for the SlimServer, and whatever I try to connect to (have tried 192.168.2.12 - the IP address of my PC, also tried 192.168.2.1 (default gateway) and 127.0.0.1 (is this the SlimServer local IP?) I keep getting the error "can't connect to SlimServer" on the SB3.
I know my SlimServer is running OK (SoftSqueeze is working fine on a laptop I have). I have tried turning WEP encryption off on my WLAN (am fairly sure I have proved that is not the issue - the SB3 connects to the WLAN and gets itself an IP address with WEP on or off). Have also now tried turning my firewall (an Nvidia motherboard (A8N-SLI Premium) firewall) off (Windows XP firewall is also off) and still it does not work, so think I have eliminated firewall problems from the equation. I have noticed that when checking "Current Settings" on the Squeezebox, the Subnet Mask is shown as 255.255.0.0 instead of 255.255.255.0, and I can't find a way to correct this. Also, the "Gateway" and "DNS server" addresses in the "current settings" on the SB3 are 0.0.0.0 which doesn't seem right, but again there doesn't seem to be any way to change these. Also I am a little confused as to why I have to tell the SB3 what IP address to connect to the SlimServer on in the first place - according to the instructions I have read, there should be an option to do this automatically. Anyone know how to get the SB3 to automatically detect the SlimServer? Am tearing my hair out now - anyone got any ideas on what is wrong here - I want to play with my new toy!!! Failing any help, does anyone know if there is a customer services telephone number for Slim in the UK? Massive thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!!
