Does your router run a DHCP server? If not, then you'll have use a static IP. > So I go through the setup putting the following settings in:- > > IP address of player: 192.168.0.15 > (my router assigns addresses in the range 192.168.0.2 to 254, > following advice read in the wiki am using this IP - is this right?) Just make sure that 15 isn't being used by anything else. When you say it "assigns addresses", that implies that perhaps it actually does include a DHCP server? You should look into that. > Network subnet: 255.255.255.0 > (have also tried 255.255.255.255, my router setup says one is the > ADSL port subnet and one is the LAN port subnet. Which should I be > using?) 255.255.255.0 is correct. This value is a mask that indicates which IPs are part of the same network, which you indicated above were 192.168.0.*. > Default gateway: 65.25.200.202 > (this is what my router setup says is the ADSL Port Gateway IP - is > this right?) This is almost certainly the source of your problem. This should be the IP address of the router, which I'm going to guess is 192.198.0.1. It tells the squeezebox that all traffic destined for the rest of the internet has to be routed via the gateway at 192.168.0.1. The router itself then passes that traffic on to its own gateway (your ISP's router), which would be 65.25.200.202. > DNS Server: 195.92.195.94 > (have also tried 195.92.195.94 - these are what my router setup says > are the ADSL Port DNS servers - is this right?) It should be fine to use your ISPs DNS server here, if the router doesn't provide a caching DNS server itself. It might work to put the routers address here too, if your router does provide a caching server. - Marc _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
