Sorry for any confusion that I may have caused in my last posting.  

Test #1:  Tried to connect to the music server pc (port 3) with
encryption disabled.   The squeezebox timed out.  I had to do a hard
reset (hold power button down) for it to come back to life.  

Test #2:  I tried to connect to the primary pc (port 1) with encryption
enabled and it worked just fine.  I wanted to test this again to see if
I could still connect to it (or determine if I had done something
irretrievably wrong.  In establishing the connection, I saw the name
BaseStation appear on the Squeezebox.  A name that I had not seen for
quite awhile (i think i established the name when i first installed the
router) because I had no need to previously reset the Squeezebox.  I did
make this selection but it was the only option because it is the only PC
being recognized by Squeezebox.

So to answer your (Asinck3) question, I was able to see the name of my
primary computer (BaseStation) not the new computer.  Which leads me to
a humbling next question . . . Do I need to run the Linksys router
set-up CD on the second PC and establish a name (MusicServer) so that
the network can recognize the second PC?  

I may have incorrectly assumed that I could just plug in my second PC
into one of the router ports, reboot the PC and have it available on my
network and reachable via a WEP key.

Lastly, while I continue to troubleshoot the wireless world, can you
let me know how I change the static IP address of the Slimserver so
that I can get me computer to recognize it in a wired world.   I
believe it is under server settings but not sure where to go from
there.
