Over a year later and hopes were strong that the new firmware (86) might work better but it still causes my SB3 to reboot and I have had to revert to 6.5.0 with firmware v64 to be able to use by SB3 without random reboots. I have now tried 3 different servers (XP/OSX/Linux(Debian)) and wired and

ok, there's one last addition: in the process of solving my problem, i downgraded the slimserver to many versions, last one was 6.5.0. then i found out about the mac address conflict, changed it, and it was perfect. Next day i upgraded the slimserver to 6.5.1 again. That messed up the mac-addresse

wow! it did the trick. thank you for the advise - i would have never come up with that, because of the factory resets i made, and most likely because i never would have changed it in the first place, before the problems started that is. Anyways something did change the mac address of that player

If two have the same MAC address then you will definitely get crashes and all sorts of other odd behavior. We had a problem where the settings on the device could get corrupted and this may have caused both to get stuck with the same bogus MAC. To fix, go to view current settings, scroll down to

hi there. i kind of have the same problem. slightly different: 3 x SB3 and one older model. the oldest of the SB3 (13 months) keeps rebooting, but with very little success. it takes a couple of factory resets and setup-procedures to get the device up and running again, just to watch it dying afte

please see my other post above, re: IPs. yes, SN is direct to the SB. in 6.5.2 you can tell SB if it should connect directly to a net stream, or via SS proxy. its in player settings, audio. this solution probably doesn't apply here, as it affects your local music. one time, i had installed la

If you have four units all running the same firmware, and only one is having problems, then it points to a hardware failure. What you've described is consistent with a faulty SDRAM chip, but that's just a guess. Tech support is normally very responsive... typically just a couple business hours.
