Sorry I didn't post back sooner. After the first time having trouble
with Perl 5.8, I uninstalled it (I had actually installed it over 5.10
the first time, rushing and not thinking and being rather frustrated),
rebooted windows twice, and then reinstalled from the msi. In the
meantime, I had moved the SBR back downstairs and restored it's
settings with the SBC so that it was connected to the stereo. Low and
behold, when I ran the shell, if worked exactly like the short
instructions in the post by jrfuda; even discovering and configuring
over my wireless network. Then I had to struggle with the Pioneer,
which only connects to WMP11, at least out of what I have. It wouldn't
talk nice to my computer until I went into it's IP configuration and
set a static.

So everything was working at 6:00 am Saturday and I finally went to
sleep. Then, Saturday evening we have a power failure. The SBR/SBC
don't seem to play well in power failures, probably because the router
goes down and resets all the IPs as things come back up, but the SBR
never goes off since it's on batteries. By the time the power came on
and I got the music playing, I just didn't feel like messing with the
BDP to see if it was still on the network or not.

I'd love to help you out with the debugging, Robin, but by the time I
saw your post it was working. For what it's worth, I have Windows XP
Pro sp2 on my desktop that is running SC7.0.1; I have a Linksys
4-port/Wireless-G router that is set to 192.168.101.1 doing DHCP; the
computer upstairs is wired, there is a laptop and a Linksys game
adapter hooked up to my Playstation in the living room, and now the
SBC/SBR plus the new BDP in the living room as well. There is also
another laptop in the basement on wireless.

I'm really glad it's working, and thank you very much for the tool and
to everyone for the help. I still feel that Logitech should step up to
the plate and support the feature fully; especially if they are going
to include it in marketing materials that are copied and quoted by
sites that sell the product.
