Well, I got a new iMac and I'm still having disconnect issues just like you're mentioning except that I can usually just stop and re-start the SqueezeCenter server instead of rebooting...also seems to be fine when the Mac is wired to the router (which I have strung across the room at the moment). Today I'm going to buy an 802.11n router to see if that does the trick. If not, I guess I'll go the homeplug route (or run an extra-long cable along the baseboard). -- kowloonside kowloonside's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64200 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can BOTH computer and SB be connected wirelessly?
Yes, I definitely consider the double wireless hop less than ideal. However, even with my very old laptop, my connection issues have decreased down to a lost connection when there has been no network traffic for some time (i.e. first thing in the morning or first thing when I get home from work). Once I "wake up" the router, I don't experience any dropout issues any more. Maybe when the new computer gets here, I won't even have those minor issues. If I do, perhaps I'll see about another solution that will let me keep the computer hard-wired...or an 802.11N router. Anyone have real-world experience of the better coverage and throughput that N offers over G? -- kowloonside kowloonside's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64200 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can BOTH computer and SB be connected wirelessly?
Well, I think I've discovered the main issue that was preventing the SBR from finding SC on my computer: When my computer was wired to the router, I didn't have to set the lan_network_address on the SBR (just the lan_gateway was enough). But when the computer is wireless, both have to be set to the IP address of the router. On the other hand, I'm still having occasional connection problems which I think are related to the wireless performance of my 4-year-old, not exactly high-spec computer. They are usually solved by having Windows repair the wireless connection (despite the fact that it is already functioning). Fortunately, I have plans to replace the computer very soon anyway...hopefully the upgrade will result in a more solid wireless connection for the computer, which appears to be the issue more than the SBR. -- kowloonside kowloonside's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64200 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Can BOTH computer and SB be connected wirelessly?
As mentioned, I am using the net-UDAP tool to adjust all settings on the SBR. Both the computer and the SBR have to be hard-wired to the router in order to use this tool. So I checked the IP address of my computer when it was wirelessly connected and then start Squeezecenter and verify on the information settings screen that it is using that IP address as the server IP address. Then I plug both components in and use the tool to configure the server IP address on the SBR to match the wireless IP address of the computer. But when I reset the SBR, it still can't find the music source (SC on the computer). I even tried stopping and re-starting SC after updating the configuration just in case SC has switched over to the wired IP address while I was doing the configuration but still no luck. -- kowloonside kowloonside's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64200 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Can BOTH computer and SB be connected wirelessly?
In my old place, I had my computer connected via ethernet cable to my router and my squeezebox connected wirelessly. It is a standalone receiver that I configured with the net-UDAP tool but mostly didn't give me any problems. In my new place, the jacks for the modem are far away from anywhere I want to set up my computer and I am trying to avoid running cables across the room. I assumed that I would just be able to update the IP address on my receiver to the IP assigned to my wirelessly-connected computer. But so far, nothing but that old blue light. Just to check everything, I did stretch wires across the room so my computer could be hard-wired to my router again and sure enough, that method still works as well as it ever did. Is having both the computer and receiver connected wirelessly possible? I understand there could be some data throughput issues with making two hops like this. But shouldn't the receiver at least be able to connect to squeezecenter on the wirelessly connected computer? Thanks for any and all advice. -- kowloonside kowloonside's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64200 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] iPeng Application 1.0 now on the App Store
Pippin, another new (and very grateful) iPeng user here. I thought I was quite satisfied with the SBC for the last year, but iPeng has really showed me what I've been missing. At any rate, I had just a couple of questions / requests: 1) How soon do you think that we will see all the features from 0.5.3 hit the native app? In particular, I would love alarms and the coverflow interface. 2) What are the chances that you could add a simple skin option or two in the next update? The dark blue and classic Coolio are pretty good but I am thinking a solid black and white skin plus a Coolio icon to match the rest of the icons would be perfect. And I would think these would be much easier to implement than entirely new features. Thanks again for the great app. -- kowloonside kowloonside's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23798 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55514 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
