Update:
After 5 days of extensive using I can pretty much relate my 3 issues to
a faulty Linksys Router/switch/AP (Logitceh Quality Control not to be
blamed.this time :)). My new Gateway is a Linksys WAG54G2. Even
the intermittent Album artwork not being updated is now fineStrange?
but
After I uppdate to 7.3.3 when I start upp mine SB3 with internet radio
and then I start mine computer , internet radio stops to play !! On
display I get lose internet connection , then I have to star it
again...
I change back to 7.3.2 and this problem is gone..

i would not label 7.3.3 the worst user experience, but sadly it seems
to indicate lack of focus on the squeezebox concept. it seems somewhat
untested, with occasional unnerving behavior (like failing to start this
morning on my utterly stable Vista Ultimate 64 PC, claiming some

It's not very common to have a Domain Name Server in a home network
installation. Your provider DNS do not know the local names.
It's possible that your systems support resolving host names by using
Microsoft NetBios protocol, but that's not supported by every system.

Those names are typically taken from the hostname field in the DHCP

you could maybe thread a middle ground, that is leave DHCP on but
reserve certain addresses (via your Router's network page) to the MACs
of your SB devices. I do this on my DG834N (btw: what a piece of of

If that doesn't work for you, you could give 7.2.1 a spin. I found that

I have also had issues (different than yours) with 7.3.3. I agree with
the 7.2.1 recommendation.

OK,
An update, this morning my Linksys (DSL/wireless/router) died on me.
It would no longer connect DSL, DHCP went dead and I could no longer
access it via web browser. The switching still seemed to work, so it

Is it possible to give an SB1 a static IP? If so, how?

In my struggle to get a stable setup with my duet (2 players) and
boombox I went a long way and made improvements. I now have a dedicated
Linux (Ubunto) music server. every device is connecting to 1 access
point (vs 2AP in the past). Music is 15 000 FLAC songs on 1000 albums

Did you encounter any errors during the upgrade to 7.3.3? Based on your
comment, it sounds like you upgraded from 7.3.2.
You might try uninstalling 7.3.3 completely and reinstalling. In
addition to uninstalling the package, ensure that the directories are
all empty
