I am suffering from the exact same problem described above. Either the radio can't connect to the network (requires a reboot of the radio), or it can and the squeeze server goes down. When the server is down I can't connect to it via the web interface, or reboot it with the control application (which claims it is up), I must manually reboot the server by killing the process. I am running: Version: 7.5.3 - r31792 @ Mon Jan 24 07:32:03 PST 2011 Operating system: Windows 7 - EN - cp1252 Perl Version: 5.10.0 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread MySQL Version: 5.0.22-community-nt Player Model: Squeezebox Radio Firmware: 7.5.3-r9283 Surprised there haven't been more complaints about this issue, albeit the power button one sounds quite crap as well. I should never have installed the update :( Happy to provide logs if required, but the ones I've looked at haven't revealed / hinted at any issues. -- yale ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yale's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19708 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85046 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
