I would suggest taking a look at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkProblemsSecondGuide and the wireless tweaks suggested there, particularly NetStumbler.

This is probably a regional thing - channels 12-13 are licensed in Europe/UK but not in North America. See if there's a new wireless driver for the laptop and make sure you download it from a UK site or somehow indicate you're from the UK. Incidentally, I strongly suspect this is why the Squeezebox asks you what region you're in when you're setting it up. Using channel 13 in North America would ensure virtually no competing networks, but your router firmware would have to cooperate and you'd have to lie to your Squeezebox. Lying is not a good way to start a relationship. ;-) -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
