Re: [slim] Can't connect to the SBS
toby10;607054 Wrote: Yes. Your SB player is requesting an IP from the router, the router assigns IP's via DHCP. Now you need to enter the router settings to see why DHCP is not doing it's job or if there is some other security setting preventing your player from connecting to the router. If that router is part of your ISP subscription I'd contact them to walk you through router settings and troubleshooting to connect your player. The last time I spoke with my ISP about the problem I had connecting my player to the SBS they reset my network name and the WEP password. However unbeknown to me they changed the WEP password from the default 128 bit to a 64 bit encryption password and every time thereafter I was trying to connect with the SBS using 128 bit encryption and of consequently I couldn't get an IP address. The problem was with the encryption. Finally got my player connected to the SBS using the 64 bit encryption. One last question. Is there an advantage or disadvantage using 64 bit over 128 bit encryption with the SB player? -- Gatineau Ross Gatineau Ross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40346 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85203 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'm not sure what you mean by your question, can I enter the router's admin functions? I believe I can make changes to how the network/modem/router functions, if that is what you are asking me. -- Gatineau Ross Gatineau Ross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40346 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85203 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I'll bet there are some failed remarks in there. My SBS IP address is displayed in Diagnostics and all the Ports show OK. My squeezebox.com server IP address is displayed in Diagnostics and the Ping and Ports show OK. I still can't get my player connected to the server.

Now bring them back on in that same order waiting for each device to completely boot up before proceeding to the next device. Obviously start SBS before turning on the SB players. Hey Toby, I went through the complete network reboot. I still can't connect to the server. I'm sure the problem occurred when my system was going through the automatic update for 7.5.3, I clicked on the dialog box and it was like the update froze so I canceled it. That is when all my problems started. I've never had such a challenging problem like this in the 3 years I've owned my SB3. Also my browser (Firefox) gives me the following error message when it tries to load the interface, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:9000.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Server v7.5.3 Update error message
toby10;606523 Wrote: Try the network reboot suggested in your other thread. Also try stopping then restarting SBS server. If no luck then you can always switch the SB3 to MySB.com online for internet radio music services for your gathering. Is your router handling DHCP? Maybe your router is failing? Dunno. I tried the rebooting suggestion that didn't work. I don't know how to stop and then restart the SBS server. But I can't connect to the server so I don't understand how I could even stop it to re-start it. I don't believe anything on my router has changed. I contacted my ISP today to investigate my modem/wireless router and it got a clean bill of health. I even disabled my firwewall, but this hasn't helped. I'm not interested in internet radio I just want to be able to access the music on my computer.

Re: [slim] TV equivalent to SBS
Perhaps I'll re-phrase/simplify my question on the SBS equivalent. I was getting too confused with the responses, front-end, back-end, etc. What do members recommend I purchase to be able to watch video (i.e. TV shows or movies) from my local library using my TV?
