I don't know the technical details. I do know that my Receiver was not working when my WiFi network went bonkers. I have a mostly wired network, internal NAT, 172.16/16 address. Worked great until my Wireless Access Point died. So I got a new Linksys WRT54GL and tried to set it up. I had problems from the start. Long story short, the WRT worked fine as a WAP for my laptops, but not my Controller nor my Receiver. The initial setup had the WAP assign a 192.168.1.0/24 address, with routing to my 172.16 network. Neither the Controller nor the Receiver could find my SqueezeCenter, which had a fixed 172.16.4.10 address. It took a while before I figured out how to get DD-WRT to work as a pure WAP, so both the wired and WiFi side lived in the 172.16 space. Once that was working, life was good. I turned on the Controller, it got a DHCP address, found the SqueezeCenter, did an update to the software and worked. I plugged in my Receiver, it got a DHCP address, found the SqueezeCenter and started playing tunes. It probably was a network problem, probably that my 172.16.4.1 was not spraying messages out to the SqueezeCenter. But I'm not a serious IP networking guru. So check your network, make sure its all routing properly.
