I've seen similar behavior when I was using Windows XP for my server. The machine was also connected to my network via wireless. Both of my squeezeboxes are wireless.
I've also seen this behavior if the signal strength is marginal (< 50%). When using mine on my deck connected to PC speakers (good idea!) it was very unresposive, just like you describe. I repositioned my wireless router to aim the antennas toward the deck to resolve that issue. I am now running my server on a Linux box. It is hardwired into the network though my squeezeboxes are still wireless. Since making this change, I have never noted this behavior. It should also be noted that my Linux machine has the same specs as the Windows XP box. The fact that my XP box was connected to my network via wireless may have contributed to the problem. I think it may also have been due to things like Windows update, virus scans, etc. that would run periodically. It's interesting that you see the issue with only your new squeezebox. Is it possible that it is just a coincidence? The experiment of running it hardwired to your network will be telling. -- maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38461 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
