[slim] Re: this is a real challenge...slimserver problem
dlans are made by German (I think) company called Devolo. Have website. Got SB when moved into four storey house in Jan 05 to use in kitchen on ground floor. But my Mac with iTunes was on top floor. Originally used wireless, but found tended to skip/drop. Did consider ethernetting whole house, but on investigation found the dlans (and similar models) offered comparable (if slower) speeds to ethernet but cheaper and more flexible. My original 14mbps dlans (which Maplin sell in pairs for around £60-70; cheaper online) have served me pretty faultlessly (bar my recent problem!). Recently upgraded to the hi-speed 85mbps dlans, which also working well and faster (approx £95 a pair). Devolo have new AV models coming out which can apparently to up to 200mbps. Hope that helps. -- louish louish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Re: this is a real challenge...slimserver problem
oh, I feel so stupid. This was the problem. Both the dlan and SB worked, but not together as I explained. However, I had recently upgraded the first dlan in my network (the one connected to router) from the original 14mbps model to the highspeed 85mpbs version. Now, the original model dlans are still supposed to work with the highspeed, and ones connected to the macs on my network do. But the SB clearly didn't like this. Because I took the second highspeed dlan I had on a mac and plugged it into SB. Instant result. So all it was was that the SB wanted the same throughput as the master dlan. Now works a lot nifter too. But thanks for all the help and advice. -- louish louish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Can you tell me who makes the 85Mbps dlans? -- oreillymj oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: this is a real challenge...slimserver problem
If the SB is connected directly to ethernet port on modem/router, either static or dhcp, can be pinged. As I said, the SB works perfectly - but only if connected directly. If the SB is connected via dlan, either static or dhcp, ping doesn't work. But if I connect another item to dlan (xbox, macbook, etc) ping works. I know some people might say what's the prob? just connect directly. But it's not practical as SB on different floor to modem/router, and besides it's been working fine all this time so just want to get it back as was. Are there any SB engineers/techie people around who might be able to analyze SB console/crash log if I send to them? I knew this would have people stumped!!! -- louish louish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm experiencing the exact same problem - I'd assumed it was my wireless setup (I recently added a new bridged section in another part of the house). My setup: eMac with Tiger 10.4.8 SB2 wireless I'll try the factory reset on the SB2 tonight to see if this rectifies the problem. Given that the original poster is wired and I am wireless, it sounds like the problem does lie with the SB2 firmware upgrade performed after the install of 6.5. Will let you know. -- nano2nd nano2nd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=873 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: this is a real challenge...slimserver problem
I had the same problem back on 11/29. I was using the same Slimserver / Squeezebox setup without problems for over a year (I had upgraded slimserver many times during that period). For some reason on 11/29 all of my squeezeboxes (I have 3) stopped working. I narrowed it down to the fact that my Linksys router (WRT54G v6) wasn't assigning DHCP addresses wired or wireless. I rebooted everything several times. I noticed that on the Linksys site there was new firmware for my router from 11/27 so I figured that I would give it a try. It worked. It seems odd to me that really fixed the problem and I still think that it may have been coincidental but it may be worth a try for you. -- fred7 fred7's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6523 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hi Michael, thanks for feedback. Will try that again, but as I said in post have tried all the usual reboots/factory resets without success. Are there any Mac SB people out there? Maybe this is a specific Apple problem. At risk of repeating myself, problem isn't really with SB (which works even with 6.5.1 as long as I connect directly to modem/router via ethernet) nor with the dlan (which works with anything but the SB at present), but getting the SB and dlan working together again as before. Maybe there was something in the Mac 6.5 update which has stopped the SB picking up IP via the dlan?Am I the only with this problem? -- louish louish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30371 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I don't have a mac or a dlan, but try isolating slimserver out of the problem -- sounds like it doesn't get dhcp, so try setting a static address. Once that's done, can you ping the squeezebox when it's connected? -- I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander -- traditional ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
