Could the firewall on the PC running Softsqueeze be blocking receipt and/or transmission of broadcast packets ?
Can you get the firewall log and see if any packets are being blocked ? You can turn on your server logging network.protocol to DEBUG and then start Softsqueeze. When Softsqueeze starts up - it broadcasts a Discovery message which should appear in the Server log as follows: Code: -------------------- [10-01-25 15:30:39.3749] Slim::Networking::Discovery::gotDiscoveryRequest (96) gotDiscoveryRequest: deviceid = 2, revision = 1.7, MAC = 92:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [10-01-25 15:30:39.3752] Slim::Networking::Discovery::gotDiscoveryRequest (108) It's a Squeezebox [10-01-25 15:30:39.3754] Slim::Networking::Discovery::serverHostname (62) calculated minitower-linux length: 17 [10-01-25 15:30:39.3756] Slim::Networking::Discovery::gotDiscoveryRequest (119) gotDiscoveryRequest: Sent discovery response.
