I've been without Internet radio for quite a while. Symptoms: Playing
stations worked for only about a minute, after that the music stopped
and a 'Connection timed out' error appeared. This happened with *every*
station. Playing local music was no problem at all. (confirmed with the
last stable server and firmware versions)

Found out the cause today. My SB3's cannot communicate reliably with my
Draytek Vigor 2900 router. When I switched the SB3's to manual IP
configuration and changed the gateway IP to my Linux server (with ip
forwarding enabled) instead of the router (which is the normal setup of
course) everything suddenly started working perfectly.

So when the packets travel over my server to the router to the internet
and back all is well. When they travel directly over the router to the
internet and back it bombs out.

All other devices I have work well with my router, so I'm guessing this
is a Squeezebox specific problem.

The workaround is acceptable for me (the server is always on), but
perhaps this helps someone.

Regards,
Peter
