....results? I had nothing that worked when we were done. Started with not being able to connect to SqueezeNetwork and finished up with not even having one out of two receivers working at all. The tech wanted to "sleep on it".
Now, I'm not nagging the tech support guys, except for the fact that just like almost all tier one support folks they want you to blow everything clean and start over. I went from tier 1 to tier 2 and both were friendly and professional and I believe had my best interests at heart. What I am bleeping about..AAAAgain.. is that if these guys can't get my little system working in three hours of trying, what hope does the average...nay...the above average...oh, Hell.. any user have? After another hour of fooling with it on my own I now can hit SN from both recievers. I have no idea how and for the first time I received a PIN number for SoftSqueeze and it now shows on my controller. Is that normal??? Never had it before and I've been using softsqueeze quite a bit. So here's the down and dirty of it. Logitech! Whatever it takes, I beleive a big step in making this thing a bit easier to work with would be to make it so you can assign static IP addresses without the whole darn work around and fudging. All in all for some reason when I reassigned new IP addresses to my receivers, they could now be seen by SN, where before, not matter what we did, they weren't. During my conversation with tech support I asked twice if there was a way that we could not use DHCP and just assign an IP. Twice the question was glossed over and I believe it's because getting the receiver to the point where it asks you to choose between static and DHCP is hit or miss. The only time the choice came up for me was after getting off the phone. It was about 5 minutes later that I got the entire mess working and connected to SN. For any network with out a domain server I see absolutely no reason to use DHCP unless of course you are out of addresses to use if you static assign. DHCP has it's uses, but can be a pain in the butt so why make it the only way to go. I see a lot of suggestions on how to make the SB a better music management device, etc.. I wish I could get to the stage where I could even start thinking about those issues :-) without first having to make the thing work all over again. I bet my listening to fiddling ratio is about 1 to 10 right now. Last night being a good example. I came home, tried to listen to some music, called Logitech, stayed on the phone for 3 hours, spent about another hour getting it working, spent 15 minutes listening to music. At that point I hadn't done any of my chores, the dog crapped himself for lack of a walk, my wife and son left me, the bank foreclosed on my home and the power company shut the power off. All because I've become a full time nanny for a little black box... Peace -- Howard Passman Sorry slow to respond.
