Thanks so much for the quick reply!

I have tried changing the gateway address to 192.168.0.1, which is what
the router setup says is the LAN port IP address, so I think you were
right with that. Unfortunately it still doesn't work!

Regards the router having a DHCP server, I think it does, but seeing as
I get the 169 address when I try to use the auto setup, I am guessing
that my SB doesn't like it, same as it didn't like the DHCP server on
my last router. That is why I am trying to set it up on a static IP, as
I had before. 

I have checked the "attached devices" list in the router setup, and
there are no others listed other than my desktop and laptop, so I think
192.168.0.15 should be available for the SB to use. I have tried 10 and
11 too and get the same result.

What about the IP address I am trying to connect to the slimserver on -
am I right that this should be my desktop's IP address (the computer
that slimserver is running on)?

If I am, then it seems to me I have all the IP settings right, so 
maybe it is a problem with slimserver and this new router. I could try
upgrading my slimserver (am only on 6.2.2, never upgraded to the latest
as I had such a nightmare getting it working before that when it was
working I didn't want to change anything!) Do you think that this could
be causing the problem?

I remember there was a wiki somewhere on here that had specific issues
listed by router model, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know
where it is?

Thanks again for all your help, without you guys the SB3 would be a
much worse product - it can be very tricky to set up!!! Fortunately I
know that once it is set up, it works a treat and is fantastic!!!
