Hi there
It's usually good practice when testing any new application etc to
switch off firewalls / AV software. (Only while testing)

The reason for doing this is that if there is STILL a problem with the
application you haven't introduced extra complications -- especially
with AV software which runs tightliy integrated with the OS.

Once you've got the application running - then switch on firewalls etc
again. Most people doing computer testing use this type of approach --
keep the component under test as simple as possible to eliminate other
sources of error or problems.

Now it's very easy to test if it's an IP problem.

Do this.

SWITCH OFF or DISCONNECT all your computers from your router. You don't
have to re-boot them BTW.

Now with your controller / duet  go back to FACTORY RESET.

Connect to your network through the router - enter the password etc.

Now you should be able to connect to squeezebox.com and play something
on the radio.


Re-connect one of your computers to the network. If you get an IP
address conflict -- problem solved. Switch off the controller and set
the IP address of your computer to 192.x.x.02

Now try to switch on the controller again and see if you can connect.

(Don't start squeezebox server on your computer until you've got the
controller to connect to the remote logitech server).


Once you've got connected start the squeezebox server on your computer
and switch the controller to it.

Now add the rest of your computers to your LAN.

Things should work fine from here on in.

Setting up can either be a breeze (in most cases) or a real DOG -- the
problem is that when it doesn't work first time its a pigs ear to solve
and if you aren't reasonably computer literate you will get into serious
trouble with this.

Logitech really needs to look at making the whole setup process much
more robust.

However once you DO get it all working it's great and FAR FAR cheaper
than other streaming solutions out there of comparable quality - such as
FLAC / WAV play, Optical connections etc.
