Hi, I got rid of my connection problems by changing WPA-PSK (TKIP) security to WEP 128 bit and MAC-filtering. The problem seemed to be reauthentication, during which the connection was lost.
I'm using a ZyXEL P-660HW router, and my reauthentication timer was set to 3600 seconds (1 hour). SC is running on a Vista laptop also wirelessly connected. First I got rid of some DHCP errors by switching to static ip on the server. But I still got disconnections, then I tried using a ethernet cable to the server to rule out wireless problems on the serverside, still diconnections at 1 hour intervals now, then I tried reducing the reauthentication timer to 5 min, and wow, now the disconnections came at 5 min intervals!. Unfortunatly my only choices were to increase the timer to max. 9999 seconds (2h45m) or to disable WPA security. First I tried without security and it worked without disconnections for 8 hours straight. Afterwards I tried with WEP and still no problems. Hopefully my frustrations are over now and I can start enjoying my music :0) To test whether reauthentication is a problem try to extend or decrease the timer and observe or disable WPA completely for a while. /Letten -- Letten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Letten's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16718 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45031 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
