Please save me from throwing SB into river! Running off OS X 10.4 off my iMac; wireless network; iTunes server.
Things were going great for 2 years. Suddenly, with absolutely no changes on my end... SB started losing total connection on a regular basis, sometimes stopping mid-stream, sometime simply powering off while not in use. Each time I lost connection I had to set up network again from start in order to reconnect to SlimServer. Sometimes I could obtain IP automatically, sometimes I had to obtain it manually. Sometime I reconnected immediately, sometimes I had to go through motions a dozen times to reconnect. No rhyme nor reason. But each time the "fix" lasted anywhere from 5 minutes to a few hours; it always disconnected no matter what I did. My solution? I upgraded firmware and re-installed latest SlimServer. Now, I am fully upgraded. The situation improved for a few days... But now...SB runs fine until my iMac goes to sleep. (My iMac settings are set to wake up when pinged, as before.) Now when I try to reconnect, SB tries (unsuccessfully) to connect to a network I've never seen before, and a machine called "testmachine" (which never appeared on SB before) is the only computer I can connect to. In other words, it does not recognize my network or iMac. I have to try to reset network settings, play around with SB settings for 30 minutes, check my iMac settings, and then, for no rhyme nor reason, my network and machine appear as if nothing was wrong, and all is "well" again. RE: my wireless network. My laptop, sitting 2 feet from SB, connects fine and has never had network interruption; signal is "excellent". SB network signal ranges from 50% to 85%. I'm stymied; when connected, I'm in love; when disconnected, which is a constant issue now, I want divorce.
