Re: [slim] Networking question
All I can say is that you're gaining nothing in terms of security with that configuration. For increased security and peace of mind you'd be better off putting a good firewall between the network and the router. Then create firewall rules saying (for instance) that the NAS at 192.168.1.5 and the NAS at 192.168.1.6 are blocked from making outgoing connections. Incoming is already blocked, but go ahead and make a couple of explicit rules just to feel better. This would be identical to your current situation - you cut off any possibility of either outgoing or incoming connections to/from those machines. But IMO that's a little bit over the top, since those machines probably never even make any outgoing connections. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34226 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The SB3s do 802.11g, so they shouldn't negatively affect throughput of the wireless network, and the 54GB+/- will likely be much faster than your Internet connection, so all of the devices maxed out simultaneously shouldn't be starved for bandwidth. Agreed, however, so long as I want to keep the two subnets apart I'm guessing there is no other way? Your main security risk, as I see it, is that one of your PC's (laptop) becomes infected by a Trojan. If that happens, both subnets are exposed anyway. Your router/firewall is highly unlikely to be compromised itself unless you've misconfigured it. PC's exp. when running Internet Explorer or even any other browser or mail client are the modern hacker's favorite attack target. That and your own lack of network understanding. It's probably impossible for a non expert to build a really secure network with different subnets, waps and firewalls.

[slim] iTunes Intergration Problem
I've only had my squeezebox a couple of days now but I already love its easy use setup but I have a couple of questions for you experts out there. I have the following setup a Squeezebox SB3 connected wireless to Windows Laptop which runs Slimserver 6.5.1, Buffalo Linkstation Live NAS server which stores all my files connected by ethernet cable to a Netgear Router. The iTunes on the laptop can connect to server through the shared option (LS-GL Linkstation) but I cannnot move anything to Playlists, or edit tracks in anyway. When I rip a CD using iTunes it seems to put the files only on the laptop not the server even though in settings the libary should be at L:\iTunes music (where L is the server) On the slimserver side the path is set as \\Hs-dhglc5a\share\iTunes Music but I cannot figure how to put this setting into iTunes on the laptop. Does anyone know how to solve this get iTunes on the laptop working properly? Also the album artwork on the slimserver seems to have disappeared (it used to show when libary was stored on laptop) but if you open an album file the artwork is there, how do I get it to display when I am browsing?

Re: [slim] harmony remote
There are reports that the Harmony 1000 is very clunky and laden with problems. The newest firmware actually removes some functionality because they haven't figured out how to implement it properly. Lots of complaints by users of this remote. I've had the Harmony 880 for a few years, and it's okay. The hard buttons often require several presses and sometimes the whole thing locks up. The original charging station was a bad design that has been fixed (at no cost to customers). Lots of people don't like the web-based wizard-style setup system, but believe me, it's better than all the fiddling and programming required to properly set up a Pronto remote (though the Pronto does work better and is higher-quality). Bottom line, we still don't have a good universal that works well and that the family can use with little instruction. Maybe the guys from Slim can create a SB-oriented remote that also does the universal thing well.

The basic idea for MacOS is to use SoundFlower to make your normal Mac output available as a source for Nicecast/Icecast, and tell your Squeezebox to tune in the Nicecast/Icecast URL. The forums should give you more suggestions. I've got a Mac, but it sees little use I haven't tried setting this up on it. Closest I've come is configuring DarkIce and Icecast on Linux to make my stereo's Line Out available as an MP3 stream in my house by patching it to the computer's Line In jack. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33086 I don't know what software you'd use on Windows to do something like SoundFlower, but it should be the same idea -- install a streaming server like Icecast/Shoutcast, and install some software like SoundFlower to feed Icecast/Shoutcast. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34241 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Nokia N800
That sounds like a problem with the media streamer, not with the Nokia770 skin or the browser. Stream to the N800, close your browser (your stream should continue to play via the audio player), and see if the memory spike is still there. If so, the issue has nothing to do with the Nokia770 skin, but with the N800's streaming audio player. cheers, #!/ben -- bklaas the Nokia770 skin guy http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31398 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Playing music with no computer turned on
Holds your music and tv shows. Will not be big enough to hold all of them, but there is a way to prioritize. Only need the computer on when you want something that's not on the hard drive of the apple tv itself. Downsides include that you will need to have it hooked up to a TV to operate it. But then, you can also watch shows/movies as long as they're ripped to a compatible format. Won't be quite as flexible as some other options, but will be plug and play. Of course, it's a computer too - just a quiet one that doesn't look like it (in the same way NAS's are computers). -- gsalton gsalton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34060 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Help! Internet based screensavers broken
I'm driving myself nuts trying to fix this one. Perhaps someone can help... I'm using a Mac Mini as my Slimserver (6.5.1) with a couple of SB3s. Previously, the Mac was connected to my wireless router and the SB3s were running wirelessly. Circumstances have now dictated that I will have to run my Mac wirelessly for the next few weeks - I know that this is not ideal - but everything seems to be working fine, except for any Internet based screensaver: RSS ticker and SuperDateTime being examples. I can use SqueezeNetwork from both SB3s just fine. Nothing has changed on the SB3s. Obviously, the Mac is now using it's Airport card - but the Mac is able to see the Internet without problem. I'm stuck. Any ideas?

[slim] Remote ideas: HTC?

[slim] Tearing my hair out with audio problem
Slimp3 (2.3) and Slimserver 6.5.1. Slimp3 is connected to the LAN via a bridged Airport Express. I've had this setup for over a year. Starting two nights ago streamed music (Folk Alley) starting corrupted. Almost as if the MP3 data was corrupt. I would get what sounds like bubbles of the music, with random squeals and pops and the ocassional loud POP. I tested with MP3s from the local SlimServer with the same results. I tested the connection by plugging a laptop into the AEX and tested the connection at my rated cable speed of 6M. I also ran the Apple wireless utilities and saw excellent signal strength and very low interference. Is it possible I actually have developed a hardware problem? Any ideas?

Re: [slim] bridge DHCP problems
I am using an SB3 as a bridge to my girlfriend's PC. Both the SB3 and her PC are using DHCP. I have seen no problems with it. I'm happy to provide additional details on our setup, if desired. On 4/4/07, pza [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone else have DHCP working in conjunction with the wireless-ethernet bridge? When I have the bridge enabled, neither the squeezebox nor the machine connected into the ethernet port get assigned IP addresses. If I set their IPs statically the network connectivity via the bridge is fine to the rest of the network. If the bridge is turned off, then the squeezebox gets an IP via DHCP without any problems. I've turned the bridge on and off several times to check that it wasn't just a one off problem. I'm happily working now with static IPs and the bridge enabled, but would prefer DHCP. -- pza pza's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11011 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34191 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
