Glad you're in touch with Anoop. Hopefully he can get you up and running. I did some additional looking into the problem for my end, and found that the controller does all its communications with the server via port 9000. Only the players use 3483 right now. I'm starting to believe that there may simply be a fault in the hardware. I did consider one additional test we can try... it would isolate the AP from the mix. Can you try your set up completely wired? Put the server and the SBR on the same ethernet switch, and then use the "bridged installation" mode to have the SBC connect to the network via a bridged ad-hoc connection with the SBR. The User Guide covers this setup, if you need more information. This will simplifies the network and gives us a "known" wireless connection for the controller. If that still doesn't work, I'd recommend that we replace your Duet and bring your unit back in for more extensive testing. If that *does* work, then we have a pretty good idea that the problem is in the Controller / wireless access point connection. I really appreciate your patience and willingness to work with us on this. Hopefully your efforts will help us prevent this from happening to other users when we finally do figure out the root cause. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44418 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
