Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I was just about to ditch the Airport for a little while and try a simple hardwire Linksys switch to hook up just a transporter and one squeezebox. Muski's suggestions had me feeling brave so I just gave it a shot and now I'm pretty disgusted. I'll start from the beginning: -I had already changed the channel setting to channel one because that is what worked best with the previous Airports. -I then did the full de-install (I had previously done this). I waited to install the slimserver and shifted over to the Airport utility. -I confirmed that it was set to share public IP address -I then reserved a static IP for the IMAC using your instructions. I got the mac address by by going to System Preferences-Network-Show AirPort and looking at the AirPort ID. I didn't do the powerbook at the same time, I'll have to add it later. Hopefully this isn't a problem. I'm only trying it on the IMAC right now. I got a bit confused here and didn't realize that the powerbook would show a different address by doing the same thing in it's system preferences. -Here's where I continue to mess up. I saved the changes and the Airport restarted. I unplugged all my slim players but I didn't reboot the IMAC. I just realized that I didn't reboot the IMAC after I had already installed slimserver, started it running and plugged all of the players back in. I started to connect to slim on my first Squeezebox and realized. So I'm now I really don't know where I'm at. -While in Airport utility I changed the DHCP lease to 10 days. Mine was also preset to 4 hours. In poking around through the settings I went to Airport tab>clicked wireless options button and I see a WPA group key timeout set to one hour? I have absolutely no idea what this is but thought I'd mention it. Here are some settings I copied down from the Airport: - IPV4 Address: 10.0.1.2 - DHCP Range: 10.0.1......the one was selected in a drop down menu -DHCP beginning address 10.0.1.2
Some Current settings from the slimserver (still unbooted mac): SlimServer: 10.0.1.197 DNS Server: 10.0.1.1 Gateway:10.0.1.1 Obtain IP: Auto IP Address: 10.0.1.2 Thanks for trying to help me out but I'm not sure where I'm going from here. -- rp9197 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rp9197's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7754 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38395 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
