Finally! I have WOL working after much puzzlement by overwriting the
stale MAC address of the server.
How hard can it be to make the message 'Waking up SqueezeCentre' to
include the MAC address it's hitting to at least give some clue!

I have just spent an hour of very interesting network eavesdropping
using Netshark and WoL magic packet generating software, before
understanding what was going on. I have just switched over to a new PC
with WoL capability. Having done a factory reset, the 2 SB3's are now
functioning correctly
Mnyb,
Just solved the same problem by reading your post. A THOUSAND THANKS
for saving me so much time and frustration. Hopefully, there will be a
fix for this someday!
The best part about it is that I now have a fully functioning headless
XP-based server in the basement before the wife gets
It's a mystery to me but it's supposed to be like this, the bug is
closed.
Why it is a mystery to me :
the server and SB can communicate duh, i hear the music and see
changes in menu's and screens ;-)
But the SqueezeCenter or Slimserver is incapable off setting this in an
SB3 ?
The server is
Or if no change in the logic is provided, how about a simple error
message like SqueezeCenter Not Found - Check MAC? Anything, even
some formal documentation somewhere, might save alot of people alot of
time!
Thanks again.

Hi all
Sorry for the confusion. The behavior when to learn the server mac
address has been changed to be semi-automatic. If you factory reset SB
it will be reseted to 00:00:00:00:00:00 and learned new when you
connect to your SC. From then on it sticks. (You could also manually
change it to
Mnyb, thank you for starting this thread.
I too got caught with the wrong MAC address with a new server. The
first 6 digits were correct but the last 6 were wrong.
WOL 1.0.3 from http://www.simply-ware.com/ would wake the server up but
my Squeezebox 3 remote wouldn't until I corrected the server
Same here - it remembered by old PC's MAC address instead of where the
server was installed now. So it was sending the wrong magic packet
data!

1. On the remote, hold down the left arrow button for 5 seconds. This
will bring you to Set up networking.
2. Next scroll down to Current settings and press the right arrow.
3. Now scroll down to MAC address and note the number there
4. Lastly, check that number against the MAC address

That's editing the MAC of the SB3, I think MillmoorRon wants to know how
to set the stored MAC of the server. I don't know how to do that myself,
I would have thought it would get it if you did a factory reset and went
back through setup.
Same process, try it out. :)
Hello all, I've recently moved my Squeezecenter to another server
(mini-itx).
My Squeezebox was smart enough to find my new server, with out entering
the full setup and started playing right off. No problem at all with any
performance.
Then i tried to make Wake On LAN work with my new server, I
I wonder is this the expected behavior or should i file a bug report ?
sometimes the difference between a bug and a function can be very thin
