Hi again, I have finally found a workaround for my problem described in
this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21866.

To summarise: after about 200Mb streaming (half hour of FLACs a few
hours of MP3s) the SB3 stops, seems to lose the network conection, and
I have to turn the router off and on again to get the network back. I
think it is a router problem (I have the same problem copying large
files over the wireless network, using Windows XP).

I have now worked out that if I switch WEP encryption off, the problem
goes away and I can stream FLACs for hours on end no problem. This is
rather frustrating, as I don't really want to run my wireless LAN
unencrypted. And it just seems quite bizarre! Does anyone have any idea
why encryption could be causing this problem?

One option I have considered is using MAC filtering instead of
encryption - can anyone enlighten me as to how secure that would be?

Final question - have asked this before but got no help :-(
In order to try to understand what is happening when the SB3 stops
playing with encryption on, is there any value in looking at the
debugging in slimserver? If so, can anyone describe to me what I should
be looking at/for? I know you can turn on various options in "server
settings/debugging" in slimserver but don't know what to look for - it
is a very long and confusing list!

Any advice much appreciated! Thanks a lot!!!
