Good news, I found the culprit! I'm using a Motorola Surfboard900 as my wireless cable modem and the SB2 would drop after about 5-15 minutes, onle when WPA was enabled. The Motorola Surfboard is also connected to a Netgear 8 port switch which connects my wife's Mac G4, a Vonage VOIP router and SNAP server for backup. I disconnected all devices from the switch and the SB3 stayed connected for an hour. Great. So then I started to connect each device back into the switch one at a time.
Ultimately I found that the SB3 would disconnect only when the Snap Server was connected to the LAN. That's pretty bizarre, but why? Well, I went into the admin control panel for the Snap and found that I had NetBIOS enabled over TCP/IP and NetBEUI. I changed the setting so that it was enabled only over TCP/IP, rebooted the Snap and the SB3 and voila the SB3 stayed connected all night. So, it seems that this has something to do with NetBIOS over NetBUI coming from the Snap server. Any ideas? I would assume that this setting causes the Snap to broacast something to all nodes on the LAN and is causing the SB to drop the connection. Anyway, if you are having this disconnect problem, look for any devices on your LAN that are using NetBIOS enabled over NetBEUI -- hifiresource ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hifiresource's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1820 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22341 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
