Re: [slim] Squeeze controller losing network connection

2008-04-15 Thread gboz13

Perhaps usage has something to do with it, although from day one my
setup has been:

1) Static IP for both the Duet Receiver and Duet Remote (x.x.x.120 and
x.x.x.121 respectively).

2) Mac ID filtering for my network, with both MAC IDs put on the
"allowed" list.

3) Using D-Link Router with Belkin Wireless Extender, so not a simple
wireless setup.

4) Computer on 24/7, but periodic re-boots

I found with SC 7.0 and the last remote firmware allowed with SC 7.0,
the common issues found:
1) Spinning Arrow
2) Red icon after a long playing session
3) Blue icon after leaving the remote in the cradle overnight
4) Random power-ons of the receiver
5) No caching of album covers, so looks like covers are being
downloaded each time with a delay
6) Random loss of connectivity to SC, where all the menu options
disappear
7) Disconnect between remote and receiver (remote shows not playing,
receiver is playing)

After upgrading to 7.01 and remote firmware v2223, all the above
problems are gone.  And I haven't touched any of the usage mentioned
above (i.e. no network changes, etc.)

Re: [slim] Squeeze controller losing network connection

I've also been involved in several wide-scale customer-facing
implementations, and I can say that unless you have internal numbers
(including real sales/delivery numbers) from Slim Devices/Logitech,
then there is no way of being able to make any valid commentary on
whether this product was rushed or not.  Anyone with real experience in
this realm would know this.

Also keep in mind that looking at this particular forum as a litmus
test for the scale of an issue is not a good idea.  Chances are those
with issues are more likely to wander in here to make a post, vs. those
who have no issues.  If someone were to say "hey, everyone who's posted
here has had issues!" my response would be, "well...duh".  :)

Anyway, I had some of the same issues.  Blue icon, red icon, lost
connection to the server, spinning arrow.  Upgraded to SC 7.01, and now
at remote v 2223.  No issues so far, definitely much improved.
