[slim] Re: Problem opening new files
Nope. Tried that multiple times. Now the problem has mutated into no FLAC files playing at all (displaying the same 'Problem' message), while all mp3's are playing fine. I've tried re-installing slimserver and the latest nightly builds, and also factory re-setting the SB2, all to no avail. I can't believe how flaky my SB2's/Slimserver's behaviour has become in the last few months.

[slim] More SB2 Problems!!!
The firmware on my SB2 was upgraded last night to version 36. Since installing this, music has been cutting in and out, and overall response has been very sluggish. Essentially the SB2 in it's current state is totally unusable, and this is the case whether I use Slimserver 6.2.1. or 6.2.2. I am also still to hear from Slim regarding my WPA-PSK problems mentioned in previous posts. I know that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar but Slim's customer service at the moment, and with respect to the issues I am having, has been absolutely appalling. The customers on the forum have, as always, been very helpful. I hope, but don't expect, to hear from someone at Slim soon.

[slim] Re: WPA Problems still unresolved!!!
Just a quick update. On re-installing 6.2.1, Slimserver said the player needed a firmware upgrade. The player updated itself and is now version 36 (previously 28). Thinking this might make a difference I tried installing 6.2.2 again and this time it worked. Unfortunately this has done nothing to resolve my WPA-PSK difficulties, and I am still to receive any response from Slimsupport.

[slim] WPA Problems still unresolved!!!
Sorry to re-post on an old/open subject, but I am still to receive a response from Slim after almost 2 weeks and am becoming slightly disillusioned and fed up. In the hope that this post either jogs someone at Slim in to action or receives a solution/suggestion from a forum member here goes... I am running the following: SB2 (Firmware: 28), connecting wirelessly to a Netgear DG834GT (Firmware: 1.02.04), connecting wirelessly to a Netgear WG511T (Firmware: 2.52.29.4), which is plugged in to a Dell Inspiron 5150, (connected to an external Seagate hard drive for music storage) and is running Slimserver 6.2.1. For almost a year I was running this setup, protected with WPA-PSK with absolutely no problems. However, on resetting the SB2's MAC address, due to a problem with SqueezeNetwork and on the advice of Slim support, the SB2 will no longer connect to my network when WPA Personal is activated. The network is found, but a strange IP address, different from all the others on the network, is assigned, and the SB2 fails to conncet to Slimserver. The only way I can currently connect is by disabling WPA protection, which I do not want and nor should I have to do. I provided Ross Levine at Slimsupport with this information almost 2 weeks ago and despite asking for an update over a week ago have still to receive any response from him or anyone else at Slim support. I would be very grateful if any forum members could help out with this issue, and if someone at Slim would be good enough to contact me and at the very least update on their progress with this problem.

I've just installed 6.2.2 but when I try opening it up, nothing happens, the icon in the task pane just keeps flashing on and off, saying that Slimserver is starting, but it never does.

[slim] Whining - Sorry
Sorry to whine guys, but... Since attempting to use Pandora I have encountered numerous problems,e.g. fixed digital output operates variably, Slimserver loses my SB2 whilst connected to SqueezeNetwork, and, most frustratingly of all, since resetting my SB2's MAC on the advice of Slim support, I have lost WPA functionality on my SB2. Although in general I am very happy with my SB2, I am disappointed by how buggy SqueezeNetwork is. I am also still awaiting a response from Slim support regarding my loss of WPA functionality. Come on Slim, this isn't good enough by your own high standards!

[slim] Re: SB2 no longer connecting to wireless network!
Having checked things further, the problem appears to be that the SB2 will not connect to the network when WPA-PSK is enabled on my router (an IP address is assigned but it is completely different from any of the other devices on the network, see below). Once this is disabled, the SB connects to the network and is assigned an IP address matching the other devices on the network, i.e 192.168...instead of the strange one assigned when WPA is activated, e.g. 169.254.228.49. This is bizarre because, as I've already said, my SB2 worked flawlessly with WPA-PSK activated on my router for months. The problem has only arisen since resetting the SB2's MAC, on the advice of Slim support, to match that printed on its' base. Please help guys! Cheers!

[slim] Re: SB2 no longer connecting to wireless network!
Nope. Just temporarily set the WPA-PSK network key to 12345678 (has to be minimum of 8 characters) and whilst the SB2 detects the network and the server's IP address, it is still assigned a strange IP address and ultimately fails to connect to the server. Aren't there any Slim people who can chime in on this? Cheers!

[slim] Re: SB2 no longer connecting to wireless network!
I have disabled MAC filtering (called Access Control on my Netgear DG834GT)to no avail, (the SB2 had worked with this turned on before anyway)and also entered the reset MAC address into the access control list, agian to no avail. The SB connects to the router when I disable all security settings, but I am not prepared to go without WPA security, and the SB2 has been working fine with it all up until the MAC reset I did on Thursday. I've also checked the WPA passphrase on the player corresponds to the router's. What's going on?

[slim] 6pin - 4pin Firewire/1394 cable???
Hi all Looking to bolster the meagre (40gb) storage on my Dell Inspiron 5150 in preparation for an SB2, and the Maxtor One Touch II 300gb external USB/Firewire looks good. However, both my USB ports are already in use, so I'd like to use my 1394 port. I think it is a 4 pin input (how can I verify this?) but the cable supplied with the Maxtor is a 6pin to 6 pin. If it turns out that my 1394 port is indeed a 4pin, could I use a 6pin to 4pin cable from the Maxtor, or would this not work/adversely affect performance? Cheers!
