macbook pro
duet
squeezecenter 7
all wireless

everything works fine. everything connects, music plays, everyone is
happy


However I take this macbook laptop to work and I want it to make the
duet work with a windows XP laptop that is always home.

Downloaded and installed squeezecenter 7 on the XP laptop. Everything
else is the same. Same wireless hub, duet etc.

Power down macbook, take it out of the picture. Duet controller goes a
bit wierd but lets leave that for now.

Turn on the PC, SC appears to run fine, no errors reported. However it
cannot see player and the duet controller cannot see it. Even if I put
its IP address into the duet controller as the music source ip it can
not see it. Tried rebooting pc numbers of times, refreshing SC pages
etc. Restarted both player and duet controller. Played around with
various combinations of restarting etc. PC can never see player and
duet controller can never see the PC

However and this is the confusing part, if I reset the player and
controller and select squeezenetwork for the player. Squeeze network
works fine, and if I then switch off the controller by holding down the
home button the PC  SEES THE player. It can connect, asks me if I want
to switch from squeezenetwork  I can select music from the PC, play it
everything works EXCEPT the duet controller is out of the game. No
matter what I do it will not find the player or the PC, even if I put
in the PC's ip address for the music source. If I turn the PC off the
duet controller can see the payer again.

what on earth is going on? If I can connect and play music from the PC
I presume that all the wirewall settings (which is completely off by
the way), hub settings, pc settings are ok. 

At any time if I turn my macbook back on the whole duet system works
fine (but picks up the macbook not the PC) so I presume the duet
hardware is ok.

any suggestions on how to fix it or is it liable to be very complicated
and so time consuming that I should just give up now and return the
thing?
