To get over this hump, I'd suggest the following:
- Make sure that SqueezeCenter is set to start at boot time:
# sudo chkconfig squeezecenter on
- Make sure SELinux is disabled on Fedora. From a command prompt:
# sudo setenforce 0
Then edit the /etc/selinux/config file:
# sudo gedit /etc/selinux/config
Make sure that SELINUX=disabled is present in the file. Finally,
reboot the machine:
# sudo shutdown -r now
- Stop the firewall service:
# service iptables stop
- Make sure that you can ping the Fedora box from another computer.
On a windows machine, from a command prompt:
ping 192.168.0.2
- Do a factory reset of your SB3: unplug the power from the SB3 and
then press and hold the "+" key on the IR remote while you plug the
power back in. Then walk through the setup steps.
See if that gets your Squeezebox connected to Squeezecenter running on
the fedora box.
I would also suggest that before going any further that you apply all
the updates available for Fedora 11. From a terminal prompt:
# sudo yum update -y
I usually set my fedora based squeezebox servers to a static IP
address. With Fedora 11, this can be a bit tricky. But if you want to
do this, follow these steps:
Record the MAC address of your ethernet adaptor eth0:
# ifconfig
Copy the HW address value and paste it into a note file or somehow
record and save that value.
Then edit the /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 file:
# sudo gedit /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
You'll want contents to be something like this:
Code:
--------------------
# Intel Corporation 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
DNS1=208.67.222.222
DNS2=208.67.220.220
DNS3=192.168.0.1
GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
HWADDR=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
IPADDR=192.168.0.222
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
PEERDNS=yes
ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g"
--------------------
The top line in the file, the # commented line with the description of
the hardware, is unimportant and you should keep whatever is already in
the file. You'll need to fix up the HWADDR value there with the MAC
address you saved in the previous step. For all the other values, use
the settings supplied above.
This ifcfg-eth0 configuration will set your fedora box to the static ip
address 192.168.0.222, set your DNS servers to OpenDNS, set your gateway
to your router and enable your NIC for wake-on-lan via magic packet.
Save the file and exit gedit.
Next, you'll disable NetworkManager, which (in the past at least)
hasn't done so well with static ip addresses, and then enable and start
the basic network service:
# service NetworkManager stop
# chkconfig NetworkManager off
# chkconfig network on
# service network start
Now check to see if everything is as it should be:
# ifconfig
Ifconfig should report that eth0 has the inet addr:192.168.0.222. Try
pinging your router:
# ping -c 5 192.168.0.1
Try pinging Google:
# ping -c 5 www.google.com
If those two ping attempts were successful, then you've successfully
set your fedora box up with a static IP address.
