It seems that just opening 3484 and 9000 on the firewall wasn't sufficient. I also had to turn on broadcast support before my SB2 or SB3 would see the server.
For those using Yast2 (graphical), go to "Security and Users" -> "Firewall" -(choose from left hand list)--> "Broadcast" and add 3483 and 9000 to "External Zone". I'm not sure that 9000 is needed, but I added it anyway while I was in there. The symptom I saw was that after shutting down my old server, neither the SB2 nor the SB3 would connect to the new server. Just to be sure the old settings weren't interfering, I did a reset (cold power-on + ADD button) and neither would automatically find the server. And entering the IP manually just resulted in a short hang followed by a blank screen. Interestingly enough, my old original Squeezebox had been running for a couple of days against the new server (after manually entering the IP). Once I turned broadcast support on, I reset the SB2 and SB3 and they automatically picked up the new server. Does anyone know if the SB2 and SB3 perform a broadcast request for the server, even if the IP is entered manually? I'm pretty sure that the needed ports were open, because the SB1 worked (and I was also able to listen to streams from Slimserver in Winamp). It appears that not allowing broadcast support makes the server "invisible" to the SB2 and SB3. -- AubreyCTurnerJr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AubreyCTurnerJr's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9795 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32507 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
