[slim] Boom disconnects Classic

When I power up my boom, it kicks my classic off the server. The Classic only says; can't connect to server. If I pull the plug on the Boom, my Classic connects again? Anybody have a solution for this problem? best regards Luvaton -- Luvaton

Don't both the Controller and iPeng make use of caching in that they ask the server for long lists, such as all albums when browsing albums? That may partly explain the slowness. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile:

Re: [slim] Boom disconnects Classic

One other thing that I just thought of: Is it possible that the Boom has the same IP address as the server? Are you using DHCP? If so, make sure you don't give out addresses that might be statically assigned to computers or devices on the network. Usually you can designate the address range

Some of my beta testers use very large libraries even with a ReadyNAS, although it's a pain. Your HW definitely sounds powerful enough. There's a few things to consider WRT iPeng: 1. iPeng caches long lists. This helps a lot with browsing after it has done so but can slow things down during the

In the attached thread, P Dixon explains that 1/256 or multiples are used down to -30db. In the old 40 step volume days (2005) he had to argue with Sean Dean to get it corrected to be this way). Further volume reduction after that bit resolution accuracy is compromised.
