I just got a Squeezebox2 about two weeks ago and I run Slimserver 6.2 on
an old Windows 2000 box that is somewhat wimpy.  Once or twice a day,
the Squeezebox will stop in mid-song.  It says it is "playing" but the
play time does not advance.  I am guessing that the Squeezebox has used
up everything in its buffer and is waiting for the server.

When I do this, I can usually do "Fwd" and pick up at the next song, or
"Rew" to restart the current song.  (Which I suspect flushes the stream
buffer and forces it to fetch new stuff.)

Any idea what are good debug settings for analyzing this?  I suspect
that the server has gone stupid or there are network problems, but I
don't have any evidence.  When I check the wireless connection, it's at
99%.

The server is 802.11b; the Squeezebox2 and my router are 802.11g.  I am
not sure whether that is a problem.  I may make a wired connection to
compare.  (My goal was to avoid spending any more money on that old
computer, so I didn't upgrade the wireless card.)

The server seldom runs anything but Slimserver.  When I use iTunes to
scan in new discs, I connect the Squeezebox to Squeezenetwork,
bypassing my own server, because my own server becomes useless while
scanning discs (iTunes uses 99% of the CPU capacity while scanning, and
starves Slimserver).
