What seemed to make everything start working was changing the IP
addresses when I finally got to the point where the receivers would
allow me to assign static addresses. I'm surmising it was a DHCP issue
even though the receivers were getting ip's.
You say its not networking, but what works is all about networking.
Home networking in general, and WiFi in particular is not ready for mass
markets yet. Its the networking.
I run my network with control over DNS and DHCP, and it just works. When
I got my Receiver, I plugged it in and it has worked perfectly since
with zero fiddling.
I run DNS and DHCP servers on my music server.
I used to, but then I got tired of having my whole home network going
down whenever I did some maintenance on my server.
I now use a mix of fixed and dynamic ip addresses provided by my router.
(which, unfortunately, supports only a limited number of fixed addresses)

Peter
