So my 3 month experience with the SB3 has gone from initial problems to being happy to now being ready to throw it out.
Ready to kick back for an hour last night and listen to some random mix - the SB3 had no display - no time/date - which means it couldn't communicate with SlimServer. I'd had this a lot under 6.2.1 with FW28 and had to go through the network setup (without changing anything) to re-establish the connection. Since upgrading to a 6.2.2 nightly and FW35 the problem had gone away. This time re-doing the settings made no difference. Nor did unplugging/replugging the unit, nor did unplugging/replugging the unit followed by re-doing settings (many times). I also restarted SlimServer, rebooted the PC. The SB3 connects to the wireless network - I know this because Squeeze Network works. My error is: Power up SB3 Connecting to wireless network Waking up SlimServer Connecting to SlimServer Connecting to wireless network Powers off I am running SB3 wireless with WPA Personal. I have a wireless repeater right next to the SB3. I installed this to remedy drop outs when playing FLAC files - it has worked great for a couple of months. SlimServer is on a Windows XP laptop, SP2. Again this setup has been working great for a couple of months. I turned off the Firewall - still can't connect. I turned off the Anti-Virus - still can't connect. I checked if any recent XP updates had been applied - none. I can probably get this going again by trying: A new nightly upgrade (is there newer FW than 35?) Reset SB3 to factory and re-configure. Run Ethereal and see if there's a TCP/IP issue. Rewire the house to use cat-6 :-) Troll the forums for other suggestions. But in all honesty, I'd already spent hours resolving my wireless drop outs. I work with computers all day so the last thing I want is to come home and spend all night debugging these issues. So I guess my question is has someone seen this and know how to fix it quickly? Just venting - its the last thing I needed last night - I feel like a beta tester!!!!
