naturally i want to keep things simple; i.e., neither 4g router nor pi as a router. consider this: i boot the pi without wifi, only eth0 (without gateway), and using desktop browser over lan, all works as expected. so browser is really a functional equivalent to squeezelite running on pi. why is squeezelite having trouble to connecting to a localhost server? i tried this. kill squeezelite. verify LMS is listening on 127.0.0.1. started squeezelite with specific arg -s 127.0.0.1. still it can't connect! i believe i mentioned this before. i can add a "dummy" router to the lan, assign it as the gateway. then squeezelite works! BUT when the hotspot comes around, it won't work; i.e., no internet access. it seems to be an either/or situation. and clearly a networking issue within raspian. i've posed a similar question on the raspian forum and hopefully some network gurus can help... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pavowren's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=51958 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109789 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
