I see the same problem here. On a basic 11b network (essentially the setup described in http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/en/wireless.simple.html) where I have four other machines connecting quite happily (one mac running openbsd, two pcs with FreeBSD, one windows pc), my new Squeezebox finds my network and associates, but no matter what I do, it will not communicate via TCP/IP over the wireless network.
When I tried to assign it an address via dhcp, my dhcp server never saw the requests. Of course just now when I was writing this, my dhcp server actually sees them, but what happens then is even more bizarre: Dec 11 20:51:07 skapet dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:04:20:06:16:83 via ath0 Dec 11 20:51:07 skapet dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.168.103.9 to 00:04:20:06:16:83 via ath0 but the squeezebox claims it got a 169.n.m.o (IANA blackhole) address - a different one apparently at random each time. Of course when I plug the squeezebox in to the wired net, essentially directly to the hub in the attic where my always-on boxes live, it all just works. In fact the first time I connected it, not only did it obtain an IP address automagically, it even downloaded a firmware upgrade. And yes, I've tried turning off all encryption (no effect) and assigning a static address (no effect either). Oddly enough, now that it's managed to contact my network, the squeezebox appears to be asking for an address rather frequently, but it still claims that it's getting 169.mumble.mumble.mumble addresses. -- pitrh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pitrh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2750 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18938 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
