There's a lot of what you say that sounds familiar, like the TiVo being able to do its network test when I can't even ping it, but also a lot that doesn't match my problem, like I've never noticed the SqueezeBox failing to work, and I definitely don't have separate MAC addresses. What firmware is your SqueezeBox running?
I have found that if I manually put my SqueezeBox and the TiVo in my computer's ARP table with the same MAC address, then everything seems to work just fine. Of course, that's less than optimal for many reasons. I just did a network snoop and determined that I'm just not getting ARP replies when the device connections fail, sometimes for either device. The most recent test I did, the only reason my computer got the SqueezeBox's MAC address is because it did an ARP request requesting my computer's MAC address. God knows why it did that. It requested the MAC address of the SlimServer computer (which is separate from the computer I'm working on) first. I have other devices on the wireless network that respond to ARPs properly, so I don't think it has anything to do with my access point, although it's possible that there's more to it than just that. -- wfaulk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wfaulk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6638 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39842 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
