yes, i was over at the jivelite forum and it seems some folks had a similar (but not quite mine) situation where they removed the ethernet connection, began using wifi and then, jivelite would fail to connect to lms. common solution was re-installation or reset with wifi present. i was about to follow suit but now believe it would be futile in my case. as you point out, problem is jivelite's persistence for wifi. even after hotspot goes away, it retains the wifi address, so of course, it cannot connect. yes, it should be able to handle the simplest configuration where all are co-resident in the same machine! as for trying out a 'dummy' dns server, i will look into using a local router if it can be set up as such. otherwise, do you know of a windows10 software that can do this quick and dirty? this old retired brain is getting a real workout, hopefully keeping the synapses alive... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
