What version of SlimServer?
Does the SB3 fail to connect to the wireless router or does it fail to connect to the server? There's a big difference. If you're just shutting down the server, then the SB should remain connected to the wireless router, even while the server is unavailable. I had a similar problem for several months during the beta testing of SlimServer 6.5, but it went away a couple weeks before the final release. The problem was that when SlimServer was shut down and then started back up, the Squeezeboxes on my network more often than not refused to connect. The workaround for my problem was to restart the SlimServer service. Eventually (sometimes it took six or more tries) the Squeezeboxes would connect. Open a web browser to the home page of SlimServer and refresh it every five or ten seconds for about 30-45 seconds after restarting the SlimServer service. If your Squeezeboxes don't connect in that time, try again. Look for the appearance of the players on the home page under 'Settings' to know when they've connected. http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3778 -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28125 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
