[slim] Network question after EMP burst
Good morning. As some of you may have read, we had tornados/bad weather here in Arkansas last night (we're OK). We had a huge lightning strike in my back yard that apparently generated a substantial enough electromagnetic pulse to blow all of my computers (and almost every microprocessor controlled appliance) off line. While I have been successful in getting almost everything back up, one of my remote wired Squeezeboxes 3 refuses to find/log into the network. I'm running a Leopard (10.5.1) server using only an ethernet-wired network. Have done the reconfig routine on the computer, the network hubs and the Squeezeboxes, yet I can get only one Squeezebox 3 to log onto my Slimserver network. Any ideas? Thanks very much.

Re: [slim] Network question after EMP burst
"#2: Lightning to ground strikes do not cause EMPs." Sorry, I meant to type "EMF." Very helpful comment. Appreciate it. No, Sean, it doesn't seem to be able to pull an address from DHCP. Will try switching around my Squeezeboxes when I get home from work. Any fix for a fried ethernet port this side of a new Squeezebox? Thanks very much.

Re: [slim] Network question after EMP burst
For those whose Squeezebox ethernet ports stop working after a close lightning strike as did mine, I stumbled on a solution. Try the reset to factory defaults (hold down the "add" button on the remote when you plug in the power cord) or another reset (hold down the "1" button on the remote when plugging in the power). This brought my ethernet port on the Squeezebox back to life.

Re: [slim] Dead Ethernet port SB3
That brought my ethernet port back to life after a close by lightning strike. Of course, YMMV.

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter 7.0 and Mac OS X
Another workaround that worked for me was to go into your Mac's system preferences to the Squeezebox pane. There's a drop-down menu where you can select "startup at login" instead of "startup on boot" (IIRC). No further problems for me, but I'm the only account on my Mac. Good luck.
