It's working again. It turned out that I by mistake had enabled Virtual Interfaces which messed things up badly.

Re: [slim] Can't get SB3 to connect to server anymore (OS X)
Eric, I don't think that a crossover cable is needed, the Mini should be able to handle the crossover internally as pretty much every PC can today. It has also been working for a couple of months. The IP and subnet mask is set as you suggest. If you read my previous post you'll see that it's working on my Macbook so it must be something I've messed up on the Mini. I just can't figure it out and I'm close to doing a reinstall. *sigh* I really need to get better at this Mac stuff. -- Husted Husted's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42169 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can't get SB3 to connect to server anymore (OS X)
What's happening with the wireless in the Mini? You know that you can DRAG the connection types in a 'priority' list, i.e. Ethernet then Airport then whatever. If an Ethernet connection is discovered, it will connect to that, if not then it will try Airport, and so on. Do you know where to find this? Network preferences, SHOW (pull down list) and select NETWORK PORT CONFIGURATIONS. Click and drag to change the order. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42169 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can't get SB3 to connect to server anymore (OS X)
The Mini is connected to wireless to my router, no problem with that connection. Ethernet is set as number 2, right after airport.

Re: [slim] Can't get SB3 to connect to server anymore (OS X)
avta, Your suggestions are sound but I'm not at a point where the SB3 needs to connect to the slimserver yet. Once I can ping the SB3 from Mini then slimserver should work too, if not then I'll go through your list. Looking in Console.app I can see that the Mini detects that there's something on the ethernet cable, I'm just not able to connect to it. It's not the firewall because it's off, I trashed the firewalls plist just to make sure that there wasn't anything blocking the SB3. -- Husted Husted's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42169 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can't get SB3 to connect to server anymore (OS X)
Try some or all of these if you like: . Uninstall slimserver by right clicking the icon in the Preference pane and selectRemove . Go to Applications and use the Search function to find any remaining files of Slimserver and delete them ( drag to Trash ) . Download and install Slimserver 6.5.4 . Use a program such as Onyx which can be downloaded free from Version Tracker or CNet sites. . Run Automation from the menu choices within Onyx. Be sure all the caches are cleaned. . Start Squeezecenter/Web Access from the Preference pane. . Start Squeezebox after unplugging the power to it for a minute. The Squeezebox should walk you through the wireless connection as you push the right button. It will automatically find the configurations you need. The only other thing you may have to do is put in the WEP or WPA codes for the wireless router if you use them ( and you should ) Good luck -- avta avta's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42169 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Yes, the wireless has one IP and the ethernet has another. It's is working on my Macbook so I see no reason why it shouldn't work on the Mini. And it has been working for long time, I was just fooling around during the weekend and managed to mess things up. I was pretty sure that I set everything back to it's original working state but something is obviously wrong. I don't think it related to Slimdevices at all, as long as I cannot even ping the SB3 it must be something in Leopard that I've messed with. I'm smelling a reinstall soon, luckily I have a Time Machine backup only a week old that I can use to restore everything. But I would like to understand why it's not working.

Re: [slim] Can't get SB3 to connect to server anymore (OS X)
Again, if you're trying to use BOTH the order in the list is going to take preference. So you should be using a static IP on the wired connections and let the router handle DHCP for the wireless. If your router is using 192.168.x.x then try using something like 10.0.x.x for the wired connection. Subnet would still be 255.255.255.0 and the router address should be the same as the IP you're using as server. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42169 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Can't get SB3 to connect to server anymore (OS X)
After a power cycle of 2 minutes it powers back on, shows the Logitech logo etc and tries to connect to SqueezeCenter. After a few seconds the screen goes black on nothing further seems to happen. The remote is still working. Holding down power 5 secs on the remote seems to reset the SB3, holding down the ADD button looks to reset it to default (or was that when pushing LEFT?, can't remember did it a few hours ago). I switch the Ethernet cable to a different computer without SqueezeCenter to see if I could ping it from there but no luck so far. -- Husted Husted's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42169 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Sorry I jumped in late... did you say if the Mini has a static IP? I looked back and saw 192.168.1.30, that's it?If you're connecting directly to the Mini you will need a crossover cable if you don't have a router or hub. Since you've entered a static IP, did you enter the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and the router address as 192.168.1.30? You would then enter a static IP for your SB3, say 192.168.1.40 and the server address 192.168.1.30. -- Eric Seaberg Eric Seaberg - San Diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric Seaberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7896 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42169 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
