Yes, it is one of mysqueezebox.com IP addresss (You can look up the others at http://www.hcidata.info/host2ip.htm). So it looks like that the IP mapping for mysb.com in DNS is broken.... Yes, we know that, before becoming a radio, the squeezebox was a networked media player. But that should not be the architecture for a radio. Why people have to run a server on a PC 24/7 in order to listen to the Internet broadcast stations with another device called radio? Not just for receiving audio, even its alarm clock function is dependent on the server such that the alarm won't go off when the server is down. In my opinion it is simply a totally wrong design :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ valley_nomad's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100542 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
