As your artwork is in the same folder as the CD you could save it as cover.jpg and then it should be ok.

[slim] Re: Linksys router pain
On your previous setup, you mention USB access point. Does that mean, your SB was connecting to your server via the USB socket (wirlessly), and now your going though your network card? Have you got a software firewall (such as the one built in to XP) running on your server? Try switching it off (you don't really need it anyway, if you have a WRT54G). -- stuorguk ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Linksys router pain
the previous sb connection was via a buffalo wireless access point (search on buffalo WLI2-USB2-G54) which is attached to pc via a usb. it had is own IP address separate from the LAN card. i have Norton 2003 firewall on the pc (which was on with the other setup) currently i have the router firewall dissabled (if it actually does!) i have tried the norton dissabled also. the SB sees the wireless network straight away it also finds the IP address for the slim server but then at the last step just after it says setup complete it tells you that it's lost connection with teh slim server and i should check it's running? -- brawlski ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Internet radio, a bit of help needed
I haven't used the internet radio for a while (before and erase and install of 10.4) so a bit of help is needed. The setup is mac running 10.4.1, slimserver 6.1b1 - 3574. Netgear dg814 router. sb1 wired. I was using the internet radio using 6.x. on 10.3.9 okay. Tried to listen to some stations today but no music came through the sb or web interface, but I am able to see the station names etc. Normal music plays fine. Are the open ports 9000, 3483, 9090 tcp and udp correct? Tried running with firewall off still no joy. Do I need to do any port forwarding on the router?
