thanks all for the suggestions. 1. did the full reboot thing, no change. The squeezeplay doesn't find the server, and the server doesn't list squeezeplay. 2. I notice one odd thing - the other devices, Duets and the Boom - if I don't use them for a day or so, I have to power cycle them for

Sorry I'm late to this party... Have you looked in the WebUI to see if your Squeezeplay shows there? I've had the issue where Squeezeplay won't connect just like you say, but I could still play music on it by using the WebUI or any other controller, like a Duet controller or one of the Android or
