Hmm. Just out of curiosity, I turned WEP back off. Now it got an IP address.
I had 2 different people look at the WEP key I entered, and they thought it looked exactly like the one on my router config and my laptop: then I had them try entering it: nothing (I did this to try to eliminate user error as the cause-- clearly this might not have worked, but I don't think the probability of that being the case is terribly high). Interestingly, I only turned WEP on yesterday, at a friend's insistence (I do have mac address filtering on, though). The several months I had the squeezebox working, I had the network open. I realize this is a security hole, but my attitude is that anyone who can break through my firewall to do anything really bad is perfectly capable of breaking through the wep. So I guess I'll go back to having an open network for now (the idea of going back to a cd player is so unpleasant that I'd much prefer going back to leaving my network open :)). Thanks everybody for all the help. -- totoro _____________________________________________ squeezebox 3 -> behringer 2496 -> classe 5 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26751 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
