simonjkendrew: One item to note - unfortunately this won't solve the problem, but it'll increase security. Do not port-forward SlimServer's ports in your gateway. Port forwarding is to allow Internet access. It directs external (Internet) port requests to a certain machine's ports on your internal network. It won't help with Squeezebox access at all as both your Squeezebox and your SlimServer are on your internal network. All you've done is opened up three ports to the Internet, which was probably noticed 30 seconds after you opened them.
Unfortunately your problems seem connected to wireless incompatibility. We can conclude this from the following: 1. You can connect to SlimServer wired. This means you've handled your IP addresses assignment and firewall configuration correctly. 2. You can't connect with open encryption. This means you haven't made any errors with passphrases. All I can advise at this point is check for new router/gateway firmware and try the latest Squeezebox firmware. Also make sure you have SSID right - enable broadcast and change it to something different to make sure that's the network you're seeing. I had the same problem as you and concluded incompatibility between my Squeezebox and my SMC2804WBRP-G router. The options were: return the $450 CDN Squeezebox or get a new $80 router. Obviously I replaced the router, going for a Linksys WRT54G, which worked fine the first time and has continued to work in all modes but WPA2. Combined ADSL modem/gateway/routers seem very popular in Europe. I don't know why - it seems to me that multipurpose devices end up being Jack of all trades, master of none. Plus if there comes a need to replace it, your costs are higher. So get in touch with Slim Devices support and give them the manufacturer/model number of your ADSL gateway. They are working hard on compatibility, there have been more firmware releases in the last three months than in the entire lifespan of the SB2. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22184 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
