Re: [slim] Squeezebox Touch can't connect to Logitech Media Server on PC
I finally solved my connection issue. On epoch's suggestion I hooked another laptop to my LAN and tried to connect to my PC, but wasn't even able to ping it. It turned out there was firewall software running on my PC that I hadn't realised of, that came with the VPN software that I use to connect to the network at work (CheckPoint VPN-1 Secure Client). I thought I'd switched off everything related to this software, but apparently I hadn't. I now disabled it using Control Panel - Network Connections - Properties of ethernet adapter. CheckPoint creates an entry Check Point SecuRemote there. I unchecked it and voilà! So thanks everyone for their suggestions, I will now start enjoying my music :) Cheers!

[slim] Squeezebox Touch can't connect to Logitech Media Server on PC
Hi I recently bought my first Squeezebox: a Touch. It connects to the internet and mysqueezebox.com fine, but I can't get it to connect to Logitech Media Server on my PC. My setup is the following: Arris Touchstone cable modem (provided by ISP) with wired connection to a TP-LINK WR1043ND wireless router. The SBT is connected to the router via Ethernet cable; the PC has a wireless connection to the router. I'm running firmware version 7.7.2 r9663 on the SBT and LMS version 7.7.2 - r33893 on Windows XP SP3. Guided by threads on this forum I've tried disabling Windows Firewall and Sophos Antivirus, disabling DHCP on the router and assigning static IP addresses, connecting SBT wirelessly and via cable, resetting to factory settings on the SBT, rebooting the router and SBT, and changing the LMS HTTP port number. Unfortunately nothing worked, so I'm getting stuck on ideas here... Could my router be blocking the necessary ports? How can I check? Or is it simply a software / firmware version problem? My SBT is telling me: Settings-Advanced-Diagnostics-Server info: Mysqueezebox.com 46.137.90.12 (this changes frequently) Ping OK TCP port 3483 OK TCP port 9000 OK Mysqueezebox.com Registered Logitech Media Server not connected Library name not connected Ping not connected TCP port 3483 not connected TCP port 9000 not connected Ethernet info: IP address 192.168.1.101 IP subnet 255.255.255.0 IP gateway 192.168.1.1 DNS server 192.168.1.1 On the LMS Control Panel I have: Diagnostics Tab: Logitech Media Server LMS:Running Server IP: 192.168.1.100 Port 3483 (slimproto): OK Port 9001 (HTTP): OK Port 9090 (CLI):OK mysqueezebox.com Server IP Address: 176.34.103.114 Ping: OK Port 3483 (slimproto): OK Port 9000 (HTTP): OK And on the Information tab: Logitech Media Server Status Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.2 - r33893 @ Wed Mar 14 05:47:42 PDT 2012 Hostname: Whatever Server IP Address: 192.168.1.100 Server HTTP Port Number: 9001 Operating system: Windows XP - EN - cp1252 Platform Architecture: 586 Perl Version: 5.14.1 - MSWin32-x86-multi-thread Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.34_01 (sqlite 3.7.7.1) Total Players Recognized: 0 My router is on IP 192.168.1.1, the cable modem is on 192.168.100.1. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: [slim] Squeezebox Touch can't connect to Logitech Media Server on PC
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not sure what a guest network is, I haven't set one up consciously in any case. Any way to check if my router does this by default? I've stopped and restarted LMS numerous times...

Yep, I've gone to My Music on the Touch. It tells me To enable My Music try the following: Download LMS, Make sure it's up and running... etc I have named the media library and scanned a folder containing my music on the Server.

Unless I'm missing something I specified this in my original post? epoch1970 wrote: This is unusual. Your router's Internet port is on a private network. Many routers will reject traffic apparently coming from private addresses on the Internet port. This shouldn't disrupt LAN access, though Perhaps the router uses something like wifi client isolation ? In such a scenario the wifi client is handed an IP on the local network, but the only thing it can do is access the internet. Access to (and from ?) other clients on the LAN is filtered. Same concept as wifi guest network but on a machine-per-machine basis. If this is enabled, it would create the situation you see, I think. Can you grab a random computer and plug it in place of the Touch ? From the computer you could scan the network, try to run Squeezeplay I'm afraid I haven't been completely accurate. I can access my modem's admin page via IP 192.168.100.1. However, if I go to the admin page of the router and check the WAN settings, it's showing an external IP: IP: 62.xxx.yyy.133 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 62.xxx.yyy.1 (where xxx and yyy are the same in both cases) So I don't know if the situation you describe still applies to me. I don't have a laptop available here at the moment, but can arrange for one tomorrow. I'll have a go at it and let you know. Thanks anyways!
