you mean by that), then what's so scary about ssh, net::udap, or
temporarily turning off DHCP on the router?
3. I never said anything was wrong with the enhancement request. I
simply don't see it as a high priority. There are 44 votes on bugzilla
for Bug 7502 that disagree with me, which makes it one of the higher
vote totals among unresolved bugs. Maybe you think it's difficult to
configure a static IP, that's fine. But I think it's nearly impossible
for a user to find a workaround for my pet bug/enhancement ('Bug 14004'
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14004)), which I think has
much wider implications than static IP (but only 41 votes). Therefore I
think that deserves more attention. I'm not against your recommendation,
I'm just not strongly in favor of it either.
1. I own a touch, SBC, and duet, I still don't want to have to jump
through any hoops. My Duet is a disaster to setup a static IP,
followed by the touch, followed by the SBC. It is easy to setup the IP
on the SBC, however if you unplug the SBC you have to
2. Again, you have to jump through a hoop. Also, go to your work
tomorrow and ask your IT director to turn off DHCP so you can give you
SB a static IP. I am sure he would love to do that.
3. From what I gather, it looks like this has been requested many times
as well as been pushed off by SB developers many times. I would prefer
managing the device over some feature like Facebook or Twitter. (Btw
those bug reports were from 2008!)

Re: [slim] 1000000 people for static IP support!
The argument here isn't that it is impossible to add a static IP. The argument is that it is difficult to do so. You guys against this thread have yet to post a method stating how to change the IP without having to shut off the device, SSH, use a third party tool, or messing with your router (which definitely isn't a good alternative if you are using the squeezebox in the business world). I wrote above that there should be a tool in the menu's that should allow this to be easily configured without having to jump through these hoops. -- bstromberg1 bstromberg1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18367 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80577 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] 1000000 people for static IP support!
Please reply here if you are sick of having to jump through a ton of hoops just to setup a static IP address (as in having to do a factory reset/disable DHCP on your router/mess with other router settings/login to devices with SSH/Telnet/Whatever in order to set an IP on ANY of the Squeezebox Devices). This is a MUST have feature for any device that is apart of a network as there are people that use static IPs that like to manage everything themselves, not worry about DHCP problems, and have specialized networks. I have yet to stubmle accross a device that doesn't have a simple menu to type in the address manually other than the Squeezebox series. Logitech, could you PLEASE add a menu to edit your current network settings.

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Static IPs?
To get a static IP on the duet *Remote*, I turned off DHCP on my router, restarted the remote and went through the network setup assigning it the static IP. Does anyone know how to assign a true static address to the Duet Receiver for future reference? -- bstromberg1 bstromberg1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18367 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71398 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

In general, a device, such as a Radio or SB3 or iPhone or other TCP/IP does not set the IP address itself, it asks the network for an address. This is because if there are two devices on the network claiming to be the same IP address, its very bad. The normal model is to find the thing on your network that is serving up DCHP addresses, and go there and force it to assign the address you want. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ I would like to assign the Duet *Receiver* a static IP address.

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and Windows 7 Beta
Hmm, The only thing I have running on startup is Avast! Antivirus, and my audio/video drivers. I am running Ultimate x64, but I am using the Vista x64 so they are fine. If you do get some bsod's and things like that, issue a check disk. To do that, open up command prompt (Start-cmd) and put in chkdsk /f I definately wouldn't disagree with the both of you that the system wont be stable until companies really start pushing out drivers.

[slim] SqueezeCenter and Windows 7 Beta
Hello, LetÂ’s preface that this is general discussion and I fully understand that Windows 7 is developmental software and that nowhere on the slim devices website it says they fully support windows 7. This is solely for general discussion/feedback on Windows 7 along with SqueezeCenter. My son and I are trying out the new Windows 7 beta on a few computers, and have come across a few issues. Since we have installed SqueezeCenter, it seems that the computer will hang for a few seconds and then issue a BSOD (Blue screen of death). We are not sure if this is aimed directly at SqueezeCenter and probably isn't 100%) but it seems like every time the pc crashes SqueezeCenter has been running. SqueezeCenter does seem to run fine though for hours, but just am curious if anyone else is having any issues. For developers, the BSOD page has not eluted to SqueezeCenter specifically. Has anyone else had any success/crashes with SqueezeCenter? Appreciate any input, -Bob -- bstromberg1 bstromberg1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18367 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59981 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
