Just wanted to second Toby10's comment, so forgive me if you already
know this.

Most routers 'out of the box' dynamically allocate IPs to devices as
they attach. But that isn't the way it has to be. In your router's
setup pages you'll have a way to allocate each device an IP. That is
REALLY important on a squeezebox-equipped network and doing it will
solve SOOO many potential issues down the road.

The main problem happens when you reboot a conected device or the
router, or the router's 'lease' to the device runs out (they usually
only have a set time) and the router re-allocates a new IP to the
device. Suddenly the squeezebox can't find the squeeze server, or the
internet, or etc etc.

Have a read of your router's config pages and learn how to allocate all
your connected devices their own, fixed IP. Don't get confused with a
fixed IP at your ISP - this is a fixed IP on your own network.

Hope that makes sense!
