Can anyone suggest where my problem may lie....i'm left scratching my head at the moment!!
I have been using SB3 for some time using wireless & all is fine. Last weekend I thought i'd try out a cable connection for the heck of it to see if it sounds any different.... Installed cable -it is routed all around loft & down an outside wall -prob about 45 metres of cable (& took a few hours to install). Connect up & .... nothing! The connection LED on my modem does not come on. So I rewired the connections ....same problem. I've tried a continuity test on pins 1,2,3 & 6 which I believe are the relevant pins & it checks out! Plug in my RIO Karma FLAC player & it's fine, & both ethernet lamps come so cable should be OK. Prob with SB3 maybe? No! Ive plugged SB3 into my hub using a 1m ethernet cable & it's fine. What could be wrong.... the longer cable connects to a RIO Ok & its seen on the network. Use the SB3 & nothing. Q: Is the SB3 ethernet connection not happy with low signal levels -whats the longest cable connection out there that works OK?? Could it be that the ethernet cable comes through the wall amongst a bit of a spaghetti of hifi cable & connections -i've done my best to re-arrange, but no joy. Tried alternate router connections & no joy.... Thought ethernet could take 100m....?? Anyone able to make any suggestions....?? -- ntom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ntom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3197 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24689 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
