[slim] Re: SB3 locking when wirelessly connected
Update on the originally reported problem is that I have now received a replacement unit and am pleased to say it appears to work faultlessly. Thus the SB3 freezeing when used in wireless mode appears to have been a fault with the actual SB3 box (or else the power supply, as someone eluded to in an earlier post). Hope this can be of some use to anyone else suffering the same (but apparantly quite rare) problems. -- SteveL SteveL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19613 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

My crashing occurs regardless of what SB3 is connected to (Squeezenetwork or Slimserver). Wireless conect = crash. Wired connection = no crash. The box is being returned for replacement on basis that if it crashes, its is faulty. -- SteveL SteveL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19613 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: SB3 locking when wirelessly connected
Hi Bob no resolution yet, but now persuing idea of getting replacement SB3 unit. Best I can ascertain is that SB3 crashes on wireless connection once its been on for a while & got warm. Works fine for half an album on start-up from cold, then crashes. Crashes then more frequent after power down/up (usually first track). May sound unusual, but I can't see any other pattern other than this. However, pop an ethernet cable in and it'll happily play all night. Taking a little consolation from fact that this particular issue seems rare. You are only other reported instance that I've seen, so fingers crossed its just a Friday afternoon box which can be replaced. Will post if this resolves it or anything if anything comes to light in the meantime.

[slim] Re: SB3 locking when wirelessly connected
thanks Neil, but no go on either channel - still crashing (I tried most channels several days ago). I've no unusual wireless interference in the house and all don't suffer issues with other wireless devices. Enough time wasted trying to resolve this - time to email support. At the end of the day, if the device crashes all the time, its plain and simple faulty, regardless of cause (firmware, hardware or an oversensivity to microwave ovens). -- SteveL SteveL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19613 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: SB3 locking when wirelessly connected
many thanks for the suggestions, but sadly still drawing a blank. I run other wireless connections to the same router with no issue. No obvious nearby items which would interfere such as cordless phones + I'd tried range of the wireless channels on the router just in case (01-13). SB3 also crashes when SB3 wirelessly linked to SlimNetwork (with PC switched off), so this presumably elmates SlimServer as a suspect. This leaves SB3 and Netgear DG834G as possible sources of problem. As the latter works fine with other devices, I must assume the SB3 is the guilty party (especially as it is demonstrating a tendancy to crash), either due to v28 firmware issue, else a fauly box. Can anyone from SlimDevices offer some help or suggestions on this one please ? -- SteveL SteveL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19613 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks Michael, but unfortunately no joy. No turbo features on the NG DG834G to switch off (its a straight 54Mbps B/G router), and the router status hyperlink lists as it one that works. I just tried enbling WPA-TKIP, as router status list shows that as "known working", but SB3 crashed again, 1:27 into second track. Dropped connections wouldn't be so bad, as I could get some diagnostic software on the case, but the SB3 crashing is making diagnosis a little difficult. much appreciated.... -- SteveL SteveL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19613 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] SB3 locking when wirelessly connected
My SB3 is continually crashing when being used with wireless connection. No real pattern to when or why, but usually within 1 to 5 minutes of establishing connection, whether playing music or not. This is proper lock-up - cannot re-set by holding power button for 5 seconds. Only option is to unplug. HOWEVER, when connected via ethernet cable, SB3 works perfectly. I've not sen any other posts on this subject, so would like to hear if anyone else suffering the same. If I can't resolve this one, the SB3 is destined for the returns dept. Details as follows : - SB3 firmware v28 and SlimServer v6.2.1 - Connecting to Netgear DG834G router - latest firmware v3.01.25 - no wireless encryption or password - Signal strength 90% + - Tried a variety of different wireless channels (01-13) - Tried static and auto-DHCP IP address assignment - Windows XP firewall (set to allow ports 3483 & 9000, as required) - Prior to crashing, appears to loose connection to wireless network (unable to ping from SlimServer PC). SB3 sometimes survives this, but more often crashes. - I've tried router re-boots, PC re-boots, switch off fire-wall, switch off virus virus checker etc. etc., all to no avail Please help, else next step is to re(ally)-boot the SB3 -- SteveL SteveL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19613 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
