As I am sure are you are as most of us... I am interested in playing music. It is always humerous when both people that post here and those on product support via email say...OH WELL! The point is... that this is truly not consistent. I just now after installing the released version (not the nightly updates) of 6.5.1 does not work as well installed 6.3.1. It is now also showing that it is not going to work as well. What this means as has been typical in the past over a year of dealing with SlimServer is that I am going to have to purge any instance of SlimServer from my machine, re-install again, re-setup the WPA encryption. Non of this should ever have to happen! -- fingers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fingers's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5570 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31981 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
