If it connects to SqueezeNetwork, that means you have the gateway and DNS server settings right. You *might* have the Squeezebox's IP address right, but only so far as it's one allowed on your LAN (your local network), see below. > I was a little confused about the different between assigning my IP > address and choosing an IP for Slimserver. Does that make sense? What > is the difference between the two? The IP address of SlimServer is the address of the computer it's installed in. Go to Start - Programs - Command Prompt and type "ipconfig" to find it. The IP address of the Squeezebox is obtained automatically by a process known as DHCP where your router hands out addresses automatically. The Squeezebox setting for this is "Obtain IP address automatically". You can also set it yourself. In both cases you must ensure the addresses are unique - the SlimServer IP address must NOT be the same as the Squeezebox IP address! They will be similar but unique, for example, 192.168.1.101 for SlimServer and 192.168.1.102 for the Squeezebox. Check ipconfig and check the Squeezebox Settings - Information - Player Information menu to make sure you have a unique IP address. Then check into your server's firewall configuration to make sure SlimServer has full in/out access. All it needs is TCP and UDP ports 3483 and TCP port 9000, or you can give it full access. I hope it isn't an issue with Windows XP 64-bit, because you may have a hard time finding help on that OS here. Not too many run it. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29009 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
