Background: I am connecting a second computer (desk station) to my wireless router (Linksys WRT54G) that will act as a music server pseudo NAS without the reliability.
I have slimserver 2.2 installed (had issues with 6.5 so went backward a bit) to my primary computer (desk station) and a subset of music scanned into the library. My squeezebox successfully connects to this computer without a glitch. I have 64 bit encryption enabled and provide the WEP key when initiating a connection from the squeezebox. Similarly, I have installed slimserver 2.2 on my music server and scanned in my entire music library. I can reach slimserver easily from the music server via http://localhost :9000. I have 64 bit encryption enabled and provide the WEP key when initiating a connection to the music server. The music server is connected to port 3 on the router and I am using the WEP key specific to port 3. When initiating a connection, the squeezebox counts down, times out and shuts down. Set up: My music server operating system is XP Home Edition. The operating system of my primary desk station is XP Media Center. I have done some research on firewalls and the directions provided are not specific to the path that I have exposed to me via XP Home Edition. The research directs me to Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Exceptions. I have navigated to the systems tools for firewall on my operating system and it says that it is disabled. There doesnt appear to be and exceptions option which I would prefer. I highlight this point because I may have made a big misstep and want to disclose as one possible problem area. I have no idea how to further troubleshoot the problem with my current education level. This is a call out to those wiser in the ways of the world. In writing this post, I realized that I have not tried to connect to the music server from my primary desk station via http:// IP address:9000. If this would help in the troubleshooting department, I would be happy to provide the results. That is enough babbling. Any advice or suggestions on next steps would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. -- tjw ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tjw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29564 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
