I purchased a Squeezebox 3 just before Christmas and have been very happy with it until this week.
As some background I also have a squeezebox that is connected to the my slimserver via an Ethernet connection. The problem I have is that my Squeezebox 3 which is using the wireless connection cannot connect to the Slimserver. My wireless is working fine as I have two laptops connecting without issues. The settings for the wireless are all fine as the Squeezebox 3 appears to connect without problems. The slim server appears to be working OK as my other Squeezebox connects fine and works via Ethernet (as does the Squeezebox 3 when I connect it this way). This leads me to the conclusion that there is some kind of issue with the wireless connection using slimserver. It will go through and appears to connect however if I leave the IP address to get one automatically from my DHCP server it will not get an address in the right range. My two laptops are not having this problem. I can do a release / renew without a problem. I should point out that my DHCP server is on a W2003 Server which runs slimserver so the Squeezebox 3 could connect to the wireless without necessarily getting an IP address. Which I think is the problem. However it does get a correct IP address if connected via Ethernet (so I don't thing the DHCP service is a problem). The mystery deeps when I fix a static IP address in the range. The Squeezebox 3 appears to see the slim server address as you go through the settings but once it tries to connect it cycles through two things connecting to slimserver and connecting to wireless network before it comes up with the usual message that it cannot connect to slimserver. I am total confused with this and the only thought I had was that a recent update to the slimserver software may be causing some conflict (I have automatic downloads and updates turned on) and am running 6.2.1. I have reinstalled the slimserver and tried setting everything up from scratch again but to no avail have you any thoughts on this. My guess at this stage is that whilst the wireless network connection is appearing to connect it is not doing actually doing so. This would lead me to the conclusion that this could be a hardware fault. Could anyone either confirm this or suggest any other options that I may need look at before going down this route. Thanks for any assistance anyone may be able to offer. -- cmaskelyne ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cmaskelyne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=775 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22836 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
