[slim] The servers that a Squeezebox sees

2005-12-13 Thread JJZolx

I recently assigned my Windows XP computer a second IP address and
switched to HTTP port 80 so that I could more easily address the
SlimServer without a port, and so that I could run Apache on port 80 at
another IP address on the same machine.  SlimServer had been at
192.168.9.11:9000 previously.  I'm using the --httpaddr command line
option to designate the IP address.

192.168.9.11 (audrey)
192.168.9.30 (slim) running SlimServer, HTTP port 80

I have two SB2's on my network.  Both see the server named 'audrey'
at the .11 address, but don't see the server at .30.  I had to key in
the IP address to connect.  If I get into the network setup on either
SB, it always shows the nonexistent server.

Is this a bug, with SlimServer incorrectly announcing that it's running
on the .11 IP address?

I suppose it is a bug, but I don't understand the point of what you're 
trying to do. By using the alternate port 9000, a Slimserver can easily 
co-exist with Apache on the same machine with a single IP address.


I haven't checked, but it seems likely that the Squeezeboxes discover 
the slimserver by their zeroconf advertisements. They're made 
symbolically, not numerically, so the Squeezebox that sees a Slimserver 
advertisement will assume that it can connect to it on port 9000.


Again, what's the point of what you're trying to do?
