Are there any switches between the router and kitchen? If so reboot them and the router for that matter. They can retain the MAC address of the device in memory and think it is somewhere (port wise) it no longer is. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets

Reboot the switch anyway. Even if it can connect the packets may not be routing correctly. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - > Celestion Ditton F20s - Zone 2 -> Sony TA FE 320 -> Sennheiser RS 130 & B P7 *Office* - RPi

Hi there, I currently have a Touch, an SB3 and a Radio, and I'm looking to pick up another Touch on eBay (basically, to replace the SB3 since Rhapsody no longer works on SB3's). I'm curious what experiences folks here have had in picking up used Squeeze devices on eBay. Anything to watch out

OK, finally got to the bottom of this. Tried rebooting the switch - no change. Tried removing the wireless card - no change. So I got hold of a long ethernet cable and strung it through the house from the switch to the kitchen - and the SB3 started working fine. Ah! so it has to be the cable

I know what you mean. A raspi with DAC and picoreplayer is a cheaper and in my view safer bet. A used Touch is still a big investment with no guarantee that it will work long term. *Vortexbox LMS 7.8 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThingys/iPeng/Tablets *Living Room* - SB3 -> Onkyo TS606 - >

I see the point of buying used Radios or Booms off the bay of E. And I've good experiences doing so. (No experience with ebay.com, though, I've bought on ebay.de.) But a Touch? I'd rather build one myself similar to this:

Google hifiberry and picoreplayer. Hifiberry will sell you everything you need hardware wise to build a small box that you plug in to your hifi in a similar way to a Touch. Picoreplayer is the software you need to burn onto a micro SD card. You don't need a screen after the initial build - 20

Which server version is this? Also, please check your file conversion settings to make sure ALAC can be played natively. If that's sure then if iPeng can't play the file I'd say it's corrupt. iPeng plays ALAC natively and uses Apple's codec, I'd say that's a reference. That said... A very common

I purchased a Touch off ebay not too long ago. I think if you find a seller that has good ratings and they say it's in good condition, you're reasonably safe. I've been seeing them in the $200 and up range of late although if/when you find a new one, they're much pricier. Unfortunately, I
