Hello World!

This week, I purchased the new Logitech Touch here in Switzerland. 6
hours before, I started to install the device, as of now, I am still
stuck at the screen where it says that it is trying to connect to
mysqueezebox.com.

Basically the behaviour of the machine is always the same. I enter all
necessary information to make it part of my network (Wireless or
Ethernet, American Region, Other Region, German language, English
language, doesn't matter what I try) it will successfully connect to
the network and immediatly afterwards, I am stuck. Reset will just take
me to the same screen, a factory reset will result in all information to
be reentered and then be stuck at this screen.

I already opened ports 3483 (TCP/UDP) and 9000 (TCP) on the firewall in
my Netgear router and defined a rule, that all incoming traffic will be
send to the Squeezebox Touch (I also tried my NAS running the
Squeezebox Server 7.5 as a target for the rules - no difference again).
I even tried the wireless access of a neighbour, that made no
difference.

Right now I have been able to give the Touch a fixed IP (not that it
makes any difference). I am still stuck at the connection screen and I
do not have any option to prevent that or leave that screen.

I can monitor the incoming traffic on the ports with the protocol of
the firewall. Using a portscanner, I can see incoming packages and what
rules are applied. On 3483, the protocol tells me it correctly applies
the rule I defined. The portscanner then gives me a "connection
refused" message, but not a timeout, which I would expect if there is
nothing at this port. Apart from the package from the portscan, there
is no incoming traffic at all, certainly not from mysqueezebox.com. I
also defined a rule to protocol on outgoing traffic on port 3483 - no
traffic at this port outbound from the Touch. On what port does that
device try to communicate (although I could not find a way to monitor
on port 80 or 8080)?

I already own a Duet for quite some time and was rather happy with my
setup. But this is totally insane, the decision to make the Touch rely
on a working connection to a Server in the Internet is crazy,
especially without any timeout or an option to circumvent that. If
Logitech decides to shut down the servers for any given reason, I can
throw away my devices? Even if everything should be self sufficient: I
am running my own Squeezebox Server, I do not listen to Internet Radio.
And when the servers are down I cannot use the device to listen to music
I store on my own network? I know that Logitech is good on remote
controls, but I did not intend to give them the ability to remotely
control wether I can listen to music or not.

I cannot find any more information on this issue, the manual is a joke
and does not offer any help at all. I intended to buy an additional
Touch for my girlfriend, to set it up with an attached USB drive - she
has no Internet at home. I expected that to be sufficient, seems like
the Internet connection is a must have and actually there is no way of
really testing connections. I found some screenshots of a diagnostics
tab for the Windows installation of Squeezebox Server, but was unable
to find anything similar in the ReadyNAS Duo installation I use. And
although both devices of my Duet have appeared on the account I created
on mysqueezebox.com, they are always displayed with a status of 'Not
connected'.

Are there any further options to debug or analyse the situation?
Although I can connect to the web frontend of mysqueezeserver.com, does
this guarantee that the servers are really up and running for the
connection of the various Squeezeboxes (as there is no incoming
traffic)? Where can I find a real status page on the mysqueezebox.com
servers? Is there any other possibility to run some diagnostics?

Writing this message took me roundabout half an hour, the Touch was
still doing its running circle without any change at all - I hoped that
at 3 o'clock in the morning, server traffic would be low on
mysqueezebox.com, as I also read about previous connection problems due
to the servers not up and running. No luck so far, I really do hope for
some hints from this forum.

Kind regards,
Frank
