I honestly can't say. I thinking you're running into DHCP lease issues or your router is dropping packets or something arcane like that. If it helps, yes, this is the very sort of weird network problem you shouldn't have to sort out on your own. But it's definitely a networking problem.

The Server IP address is indicative of a network issue. It should be the same as your EMac. If an odd number is showing up, then the Emac may be losing the IP address assigned by the router (try lengthening or reserving the DHCP lease for the Emac). Also, it seems that there are known issues

I have owned Squeezeboxes for many years and have, from time to time, experienced problems that required me to delve into Network Administrator territory. I know little about computer networks and I don't care to know anything at all about computer networks, just as I know nothing about fuel

My approach to your problem would first be to uninstall all aspects of slimserver. somewhere in this forum there's detailed instructions on how to properly uninstall on a mac. next, upgrade your os to osx10.4.11. then I'd try to reinstall the latest version of squeezecenter. hopefully a clean

If you're going from SlimServer 6.5.4 to SqueezeCenter, you should probably remove the SlimServer cache. There have been changes in the structure of the cache, I forget when that happened, and your symptoms are typical of a cache issue. Why 6.5.4 isn't working properly I can't say. -- danco

This is a networking problem, so to troubleshoot it we need information specifically about your network. The types of computers, operating systems, squeezecenter version, and squeezebox firmwares are all pretty much unrelated to the problem. Are you using a wired network or a wireless network?

I owned a 67 Mustang and did all the work myself too. Newer cars are much harder to work on, but fortunately much more reliable as well, so hiring a professional (at $90 an hour) isn't necessary very often. Same thing with the Squeezebox. I'd love to have a professional fix the problem, but it's
