Set to receive a new Squeezebox today. 1st unit shared (had) the same MAC address as another and that was resulting in some problems (see below). Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not I should uninstall my existing software and then reinstall upon reciept of the new device or does it matter? What is the best way to proceed?
Thanks much. ______________________________________________________________ I seem to have a problem or rather a lack of some basic comprehension as to how my Squeezebox et.al. should be configured/set up. I have muddled through and figured out how to get everything to work (Squeezebox plays my music library on my stereo and I can switch it to Squeeze Network and listen to radio streaming like the BBC World Service feed, as I am doing now and I can access the music library on my PC via Softsqueeze) but only if I am careful. A problem arises though if the last thing that I had listened to/used on the Squeezebox was SlimServer. In this scenario, I turn off the Squeezebox - and at some point also turn 'off' my PC (sleep or hibernate or whatever). Later in the day, I turn Squeezebox on to listen to the radio via Squeeze Network without turning on my PC. Squeezebox attempts to connect but in that the last thing I had been using was the aforementioned SlimServer, Squeezebox attempts to connect to it but cannot and it proceeds into set-up and eventually resets (in Dutch I might add) itself. I know how to prevent this from happening, just by making sure the last thing that I tuned in on Squeezebox was Squeeze Network or to always have my PC turned on, but this can't possibly be the correct set up, can it? I suspect the problem is related to the fact that 2 players are recognized. One (xxx.x.x.x:xxxxx) when Squeezebox is off and another (xxx.xxx.x.x:xxxxx) when Squeezebox is on. Is it just a matter of asking SlimServer to "forget" about the 127... player (presumably my PC?) ? I am leery of asking it to do so without asking here first. Your help is very much appreciated.
