Re: [slim] Squeezebox + Draytek router: No Internet radio
I've had exactly the same problem over the last few years. I really like the draytek routers and this is the only big issue ive ever had with them. i used a 2820n vigor a year or two ago and now have a 2830n, which i hoped had new hardware and software and no such issues. sadly not the case, in terms of wifi and my squeezebox (v3's) they drop wifi and re-establish their connection constantly. arkid77's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36168 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox + Draytek router: No Internet radio
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have just replaced a Billion router with a DrayTek 2820 (to get VPN) and I now find that one of my two Squeezeboxes has this problem where an Internet radio station will play for about 30 seconds then I get a Connection timed out message. The other one works fine. I have checked every setting I can think of and ensured that all my software on all devices is up-to-date and I can't see any difference between the two Squeezeboxes. I have tried all the suggestions in previous posts related to this topic without success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is one of those VERY annoying and hard to trace problems!

I have a similar setup. Vigor 2900 with SC running on a Windows Vista box. I don't have any route issues and can listen to BBC iPlayer and NApster with no problems. -- mmca22gr mmca22gr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=474 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I can't think of any other cause though. One of the SB3's is connected via wifi, the other is wired, the WAP is connected to the Draytek router via a Linksys switch, the wired SB3 is directly connected to the switch. Both had the same gateway set up. I'm using a non-standard ip-range (172.22.22.1/24) but I can't imagine that being a problem. The Linux server (172.22.22.100) has a wired connection to the switch as well. So when I changed the gateway on the SB's from 172.22.22.1 to 172.22.22.100 everything started working. What else could explain this? Regards, Peter ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Squeezebox + Draytek router: No Internet radio
For internet radio - SB has to be able to set up a connection to internet without using SC whereas local music comes through SC. By routing through PC it is possible you using some PC settings/config in preference to router. A DNS config error or IP/Mac blocking on router could also cause this issue. 1. For DNS or other IP issues - write for all devices (SB, router, WAP and PCs) DNS address, IP address, Gateway Address and network Mask. Check they are all consistent. One user had a similar problem and it turned out for testing they had manually configured a DNS address on a player and then forgot until months later when problems happened. 2. For IP/Mac blocking - Check whether router has any security mechanisms to block/restrict access to internet. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

A DNS config error or IP/Mac blocking on router could also cause this issue. I looked at the DNS setup, changed the DNS server a few times with no improvement. 1.

One user had a similar problem and it turned out for testing they had manually configured a DNS address on a player and then forgot until months later when problems happened. That kind of error is always possible, but I don't believe that was the problem. When I started trying to fix things yesterday the sb's were on dhcp. I switched to manual ip on a different (free) ip address with no improvement. When I get home from work, I'll try changing the gateway back on one of the players to see if the problem returns. I'll let you know the result. 2. For IP/Mac blocking - Check whether router has any security mechanisms to block/restrict access to internet. There are mechanism to block access by IP but not by MAC. The IP address of the SB doesn't change when the packets are routed over the server. I'll have a further look at things this evening.

Strange as many routers have MAC blocking support as IP addresses change when using DHCP and DHCP usage is very common.

You're right, there's indeed a MAC Address Control option. It's disabled, though. I wouldn't think of using it. I have so many devices, that restriction would be quite unmaintainable. Are you using DHCP ? I use DHCP, but configured my SB's to static IP addresses while figuring this out, which made no difference, as I wrote before. I'll do some more tests this evening, I'll try bypassing the LinkSys router and plugging the wired SB straight into the Draytek as well.

[slim] Squeezebox + Draytek router: No Internet radio
I've been without Internet radio for quite a while. Symptoms: Playing stations worked for only about a minute, after that the music stopped and a 'Connection timed out' error appeared. This happened with *every* station. Playing local music was no problem at all. (confirmed with the last stable server and firmware versions) Found out the cause today. My SB3's cannot communicate reliably with my Draytek Vigor 2900 router. When I switched the SB3's to manual IP configuration and changed the gateway IP to my Linux server (with ip forwarding enabled) instead of the router (which is the normal setup of course) everything suddenly started working perfectly. So when the packets travel over my server to the router to the internet and back all is well. When they travel directly over the router to the internet and back it bombs out. All other devices I have work well with my router, so I'm guessing this is a Squeezebox specific problem. The workaround is acceptable for me (the server is always on), but perhaps this helps someone.

So if you want this issue to be known to them , you fill in a bug report. So if you took the time to inform the 20 or so users actually reading you post, why not inform the people that actually can do something about it, whats wrong with that ? all you have to do is to register and copy paste your first post. -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65952 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
