Zaragon, thanks for the suggestions. These are the results:

1) PC IP running SqueezeCenter IP is 192.168.1.24, SBR is 192.168.1.30
so on same subnet.

2) Pinging SBR from router times out, however, the router does show the
SBR as a connected wireless client (the MAC address of the SBR is
listed, but not the IP address).

3) tracert times out.

4) I have checked the MAC address of the SBR against all other devices
on my network & it is unique.

5) Wiring the SBR into a hub and performing the setup works. However,
the location where the SBR will be sited (on ground floor) doesnt have
a network socket, so I do need to be able to use it wirelessly. What is
odd is that I have been using an SB3 (on ground floor) wirelessly for a
few years without any problems and nothing on my network config or SC
setup has changed.

I wonder whether there is a problem with the sensitivity of the
wireless card in the SBR as I noticed when running the setup from the
SBC (and the SBC creates it's own adhoc network connection), I only
need to move the SBC a dozen feet from the SBR and the SBR disappears
of the SBC players list. Or perhaps there is a problem with the code in
the SBR that handles the config of new wireless (WEP secured)
connections. All very odd.
