It's always seemed bizarre to me that routers can't seem to send a simple Wrong Password message, so you know that's what the problem is! Sending what's in effect a No Connection message is so misleading. Glad it worked out!

[slim] Connecting to SlimServer... *stuck*
Hi all, I have been using the SB3 for about 3 months now, on some derivation of 6.5.2. Recently though the unit stops at Connecting to SlimServer... but only when connecting through wireless. If I plug the ethernet cable it, it works fine. Wireless, it gets an IP as always, but when targetting the server it just hangs. Any insight here? I have downgraded to 6.5.1 and updated the firmware but with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Is there additional information that I can provide that can help troubleshoot? -- hajji hajji's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10648 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Connecting to SlimServer... *stuck*
If it gets as far as connecting to SlimServer, that means your wireless encryption settings are good. However your IP address might not be. Are you getting it by DHCP or is it static? Any possibility of a duplicate? What does the player say its MAC address is? Does it match the one printed on the bottom? Did you have good wireless bandwidth and strength when it used to connect? Has a neighbor moved in with a strong wireless router? Any possible interference from microwave ovens or cordless phones? Does your router have a function that shows what wireless clients are connected and does it ever show the Squeezebox as connected? -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hi Mark, alright, I have answered in line below: Mark Lanctot;187322 Wrote: If it gets as far as connecting to SlimServer, that means your wireless encryption settings are good. However your IP address might not be. Are you getting it by DHCP or is it static? Any possibility of a duplicate? I am using DHCP and it is receiving a unique IP address and the router sees the device as a wireless DHCP client. What does the player say its MAC address is? Does it match the one printed on the bottom? The MAC address that the player displays in Current Settings is the same as the one identified by my router as connected as well as matches the sticker on the bottom. Did you have good wireless bandwidth and strength when it used to connect? Has a neighbor moved in with a strong wireless router? Any possible interference from microwave ovens or cordless phones? The signal strength listed is 100% as since I am troubleshooting, it is in the same room as the router. And I don't think it is a microwave / cordless as this is persistent, regardless of their use. There are no other wireless networks in the area of any noticeable signal strength. Does your router have a function that shows what wireless clients are connected and does it ever show the Squeezebox as connected? The router does see the Squeezebox as connected. I am using WPA2 Personal, and nothing has changed on my network from when it worked originally. It is perplexing since I haven't changed anything recently, it goes through the wireless connection steps without a problem, just hangs on connecting. Connecting the ethernet on the same network with the same server works.

Re: [slim] Connecting to SlimServer... *stuck*
Does SlimServer ever see it as connected? (silly question) Have you tried pressing brightness? Maybe the player brightness was accidentally set to 0? Have your firewall settings changed? Try temporarily disabling the firewall. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Have your firewall settings changed? Try temporarily disabling the firewall. Yes, when it is on the wired connection (not wireless) it all works correctly, so the Slimserver sees it as connected, and it plays as it should, full function. Regarding brightness, heh, I am sure that isn't the problem, because I see the Connecting to Slimserver... bright and clear, it just doesn't get past that. As far as the firewall, this is on my LAN, there is no firewall, and I have Windows Firewall disabled on the server computer. -- hajji hajji's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10648 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Actually the brightness setting would only kick in once it connects to SlimServer. So it could be connecting and reducing to 0 when it does connect. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

No Mark, when you try to connect wirelessly, as it apparently fails to connect to the Slimserver, the Slimserver page says no player found. Mark Lanctot;187372 Wrote: Actually the brightness setting would only kick in once it connects to SlimServer. So it could be connecting and reducing to 0 when it does connect. If you press the keys, it returns to the Connecting to Slimserver message and never progresses past it. -- hajji hajji's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10648 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33542 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
