Thanks to aubuti's prod, I'm attempting a static configuration. I'll post back in a couple days on the results.
Here's an outline of what I did (before I forget!) - On my router, I assigned a static IP address to the Squeezebox radio, outside of the DHCP address space. - I enabled remote login on the Squeezebox radio, and noted the username and password for SSH. - Windows 7 apparently has no built in SSH (I'm an old telnet guy, never actually used SSH before) so I loaded PuTTY on my home PC. - I used PuTTY to access the Squeezebox radio via SSH. Apparently its a simple unix or linux based machine. I didn't look around much. Under /etc/network I found the interfaces file. Mine looked like this: auto lo iface lo inet loopback mapping eth1 script /etc/network/if_mapping auto eth1=MySSID iface MySSID inet dhcp script /etc/network/udhcpc_action - I replaced the interfaces file with this one, note the IP addresses depend on your specific network: auto lo iface lo inet loopback mapping eth1 script /etc/network/if_mapping auto eth1=MySSID iface MySSID inet static address 192.168.1.130 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 dns 192.168.1.1 up echo 'nameserver 192.168.1.1' > /etc/resolv.conf I'm not familiar with "up echo" but I'm pretty sure this posts the DNS address up to the resolv.conf file. Thanks to mvordeme for this "up echo" idea. I was going to just manually edit the resolv.conf file. - I then rebooted the radio (typed reboot and it worked). And then I power cycled it. And double checked the changes. Yes, this is easy for the average user. Hah. I'll report back if this helps. I think I also have some wifi problems, but maybe not. This should eliminate any DHCP as being an issue. If anyone sees any errors in my setup for a static address, please let me know.
