I agree with the above solution about power cycling. I just experienced the same discovery of this solution about a week ago. I had tried all types of trouble shooting to no avail. Finally I hit upon this solution.
I have 3 squeezeboxes and a laptop. Once in a awhile the squeezeboxes will revert to the setup screen. I could not find my solution in the FAQ's, or the Wiki or the manual or talking to tech support or emailing tech support. Shame. I noticed something that got me thinking. When I powered off the router, the squeezebox screen went blank. Although I am not a techie, this behavior doesn't seem helpful (I am going to publish a separate thread on the need for informative error messages). Ok, this is what you do when you lose IP addresses. Power everything off. Then starting from the wall, power everything on one at a time, wait a few seconds before the next device. In my case, first I power on the linksys router, then the linksys switchbox, then the linksys access point, then one squeezebox, then another and then the last squeezebox. Then I power on the laptop. Since my laptop is constantly being powered on and off, I let the squeezeboxes get assigned their local ip addresses first since they are always on and thus need an assignment only once. Then after they work, I can power on my laptop. Since I discovered this solution which slim devices should publicize more widely, my problems seem to have been solved. By the way, my Dell laptop seems to have a more "robust" (whatever that means) radio than the squeezeboxes. The Dell seems to be able to hold onto its ip address better than the squeezeboxes. -- mortslim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mortslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11039 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37448 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
