definitely set the server log to "debug" and look at the output after these failures. An odd problem and not a general problem with the firmware and the RADIO. At least I can report that I use two different RADIOS at two different locations (one is vortexbox server and one is win7(64) server. Both are SbS 7.6.2 (but 7.6.1 was working fine too). The firmware on both radios is: 7.6.2-r9545. Both radios are connected via WIFI. not sure, but this problem sounds more like wifi interference. Even if nothing has changed about your setup, what about your neighbors? New N router turned on high power? New microwave next door, etc. Use netstumbler or vistumbler to see what nearby WIFI networks are being used and what channels they are using. Be sure to use a channel that is far away from nearby wifi channels. also, not sure if you mentioned, but make sure you have SSID turned to display in your network. Having SSID hidden can sometimes cause issues (and is zero security in any case, as you would notice from netstumbler or vistumbler program, which sees everything, even if SSID is turned to not display). -- garym Location 1: Vortexbox Appliance 6TB (1.10) > SbS 7.6.2 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) Location 2: Win7(64) laptop > SbS 7.6.2 > Touch>Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio and laptop) Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controlled at both locations with: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.6 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89900 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
