I switched my Squeezebox from wireless to wired operation, because I read in other threads, that many people had worked around flakiness with Squeezebox finding Slim Server by doing that.
Alas, today, the first time I tried to use m Squeezebox after taking the latest Apple Security update, the Slim Server and the Squeezebox had trouble finding each other. This time around, I did NOT restart Slim Server. I DID get repeated, "Waking up Slim Server; Contacting Slim Server; <blank screen> I DID run Softsqueeze 3.3, and have no trouble at all connecting to the server. I DID power cycle the Squeezebox. None of those activities seemed to affect whether I could make contact between the Squeezebox and the Slim Server. What worked this time? While it said, "Waking up Slim Server" I hit the left arrow key, and saw the message, that it was trying to connect to my server. (I confirmed that the IP address was right.) I hit the left and right arrows a few times. Suddenely the dim clock face indicative of Slim Server and Squeeze box finally finding each other manifested. Why didn't it remember that I'd ALREADY hit the On switch, and that the Squeezebox should NOT be in standby? At that point I hit the On switch, and all behaved as if all was well. I guess I'll have to enable debugging and fetch, install and run ethereal to try and watch what's happening. I have a reasonably simple network here, and my Replay TV and my desktop have no problem finding each other and transferring gigabyte-sized TV programs. I think somehow, when the Apple server reboots when Squeezebox is not expecting it, a problem ensues that the initial Aloha does not seem to reconcile, and which power cycling the Squeezebox also does not rememdy. I will continue to watch. Any further suggestions how to watch are most welcome. -- wcattey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wcattey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7506 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33878 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
