Are these not the basic steps? 1) Some kind of general connection is made to the wireless router once I enter its encryption/password key. This seems happy.
2) Since I select Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP) it goes and does something and comes back. 3) It displays the found IP address for a few seconds. 4) It then asks me 'Select a music source (1 of 3). When it does so, it displays as the first choice the IP address of my machine that I determined by 'ipconfig' and then typed in manually one of the times earlier when I went through this step. If I select this choice (1 of 3) 5) It then displays 'Connecting to Slimserver' which after a few seconds fails. This is now being done with my firewall temporarily disabled. (Not that it needed to be since when I went to the Windows Security setup I found the 3 requisite 3483 ports already excepted when I got there). So it seems there are 2 unique IP addresses involved; one gotten by the 'automatic DHCP' bit and one that it asked me for and now continues to use unless I make a different choice on step 4 above. If I do that option I will just end up typing in the same IP address all over again. -- Bruce S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bruce S.'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20002 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
