I don't have my squeezebox yet and I'm getting the wired version (though slimserver is on a wireless box) - I would like to note that it is rather trivial to sniff both MAC address and SSID key even if SSID is not broadcast and MAC filtering is on. That may not be a concern - I don't have WEP on myself, I'm not worried about people using my connection for illegal stuff etc. but there are tools specifically designed to take advantage of non encryption protected networks, if you live where there are a lot of people going buy, etc. or in an apartment, you may not want to disable WEP, last thing you want is your IP associated with a child porn sting. Turning WEP off might help diagnose the problem though, maybe you should try 64 instead of 128? -- http://mpeters.us/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
