No... I've spent hours and hours on it now... To be fair, the Logitech support people have hung in there and I'm currently being upgraded to 'Tier 2' support... awaiting their response right now... But I've tried everything and now have the latest software (7.6.0 r32407) and my network (a server, SBR and three SBs)on a completely separate network from the rest of my house... The SBR just doesn't want to co-exist with the SBs (or the SBs don't want to co-exist with the SBR, whichever way you want to look at it)... I've lost track of the number of times I've re-installed the server software and re-configured everything... I really wish I'd never bought the SBR to be honest... Which is a shame because it is the MOST beautiful bit of kit... -- cyprusgrump ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cyprusgrump's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87339 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
