I assumed this was going to be easy, since IÂve done it all locally for years at home, but so far IÂm very frustrated.
IÂm trying to create a standalone squeezeserver installation for my remote cabin. I have spotty internet there (1 bar LTE on my cell that I use as a hotspot). I have a boom I bring up there, but because of the connectivity itÂs really really frustrating to use as it disconnects all the time, has lag, etc. Basically, I want a small thing running SBS, connected via an ethernet cable, no router if possible, serving up local content. As a bonus, when I have reliable internet, IÂd like it to connect. I donÂt want to use a router unless I absolutely have to (More boxes to maintain) I picked up a license from Max2Play, and put it on a Pi with touchscreen, but IÂve corrupted the SD card a few times, and donÂt find it reliable at this point. Also, itÂs really flakey without an internet connection. Power goes out, and it canÂt find my Boom, or the Boom canÂt find it, etc. Battery-backing up the Pi would probably go a ways to making it more reliable, so thatÂs an option. I also have a Laptop/Desktop Âthing running Windows 10. It has a battery, 7 touchscreen, and 128GB local storage. I put Desktop SBS on there, but without a router, the Boom and the SBS canÂt see each other (SBS binds either to localhost or the Wifi IP, and the Boom gets an Auto IP and canÂt find the SBS. I havenÂt figured out how to force the Desktop SBS to bind to the Ethernet AutoIP). IÂve tried running DHCPD on Windows, but itÂs not working either. The Boom doesnÂt get an IP address for some reason. Not sure I have a decent DHCP server for Windows. Does anyone have any advice here? Surviving power loss is a huge issue, as IÂm still on Fuse box up there (!!) and constantly dropping power running power tools. :-) Thanks! -Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ plympton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108236
