[slim] Slim server keep restarting
Hi all, i have a problem with "keep restarting" SB. At first i didn't notice it but now it getting annonying. It restart "randomly" (probably after 2-3 songs) and then require me to re-connect to my wireless router. i didn't have this problem until lately. I tried to downgrade slimserver to 6.3.1 but the problem still occur. i also don't think the problem is on the server as i tried to change server from notebook to desktop :( . i think maybe electrical problem (i used pretty extensive extension about 8 exts) as i don't have problem before using same router nor software (version6.3.1 worked fine for me before). But i tried to turn them off and problem still occur MY Spec are 1.7 AMD, 512RAM, 160GB HD, wireless SB2, router WGT624. Please advice.

IC thank you very much for the response !! so pick up those old box actually will be great solution for me great cost saver. there is another 2 huddler for me which is the energy used (NAS vs compact PC) and noise level (box will be put in my bedroom) I would say the end system will be: 1GHz processor (just in case) 256 RAM 250GB harddrive No CD ROM (to save energey and quiet factor also i will rip CDs with my laptop) minimum voltage PSU motherboard with onboard vcard. i believe with these system 2nd hand it would be almost nothing :D i also will definitely cheack out pros and cons between Windows OS (compact ver.) and ClarkConnect.

Hi, as everyone else lately i have been thinking the same.

I am planning to get one of those old box as server (no idea how old is the spec perhaps PIII ? 256 RAM ?) any suggestion guys ? the server will be used only for store music and video that i would access from my laptop in the living room, and serve slimserver nothing other fancy features. i have seen those quiet and small PC form. it seems nice and might be the solution. however i am wandering what OS to install (i have windows xp tweaked edition with minimal driver installed (only 64RAM require) i also have no exp of LINUX although it seems interesting to play with. I only have small collection of MP3 perhaps around 30GB-50GB. my question is will this plan work ? am i better with windows of LINUX (requires me to learn) also how about monitor and keyboard? i hate to place and old looking box with monitor in my bedroom. i was planning to hide the box (forgetting the keyboard, monitor and mouse of course) somewhere in my bedroom Thanks guys for any solution -- thoeng thoeng's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6704 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25892 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
