[slim] Problems acquiring maintaining connection to server
OK, running 2 classic SB3 off a Win7 PC server. Seem to always have problems connecting to server after a power down or sleep. Was running 7.5.4, then updated to 7.6.2 ... that caused a continuous 'rebuffering' every 5 or 10 seconds, so rolled back. The SB3's have two different firmwares - one is 133 the other 137. Is there a fix? What would the most stable server and firmware versions be for this setup? Also was thinking of adding a Duet or Touch to the mix, adn will that chnge the answwer?

Re: [slim] Problems acquiring maintaining connection to server
Yeah, I used to have it wired, but we moved our office around, and now the main computer/server is in a room that I screwed up and didn't bring cat 5 to. I am probably going to have to rebuild one of my old carcasses into a server and stick it in another room with wired access. Can't really move the router though as the cable entry will be hard to relocate. All that said, do you see a problem with the SS version and firmware versions on the various machines? BTW, besides the WOL issue, I am now having lots of 'rebuffering' issues ... could that be a symptom of this bass-ackwards setup I have? -- Inscrutable Inscrutable's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50614 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91042 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Did have one connected for along time and just connected the second, but seems like I've gone thru update on both garym;664658 Wrote: > > And as long as you can connect a "server" computer back to the router > via CAT5, that is fine. ethernet connection back to the router is just > as good as being "next" to the router.yes, I understand ... jsut not a > convenient connection for the server as i am also using it as a main office computer. Guess I can move titemporarily to see it it solves the issue. garym;664658 Wrote: > > Also, have you used something like netstumbler or vistumbler to see > what other wifi networks are nearby and the channels they are using? > You should use a channel that is not in use nearby if possible to > prevent wifi interference No haven't checked that .. although if I do put > the server on an ethernet connection, the whole thing will then be wired.
