[slim] Players can't see DHCP
I am no network buff, and could do with some help. Since recently being made to change routers by AOL to allegedly rectify my dreadful broadband download speed, my controller and my sbradio can't connect to squeezebox server. Both say they can't find a DHCP address for the network. They still seem to be kind of connected but certainly can't connect to any radio streams, live or listen again. The router thing might just be coincidence - I don't really know what DHCP is (IP address thingy?) but AOL are of no help whatsoever. Oddly though my HTC Hero connects fine to the wireless network. Does anyone have any ideas, cos this is now driving me daft. Ta.

[slim] Should I create a Partition?
My Dell Vostro 1500 is currently taking about 15 minutes to boot up. I plan during the Christmas break to do a full reinstall and thought that this might be a good time to create a partition for my FLAC files - currently 65Gb, but likely to grow slowly. Is this a good idea, and if so, any tips for a Luddite to make it simple?

Re: [slim] Should I create a Partition?
Thanks for the input chaps and chapesses. Unsure of how to do multiple quotes, I will add my replies: 1. I might well be able to put in a second drive, but it's a works laptop so I don't really want to. 2. No, I won't be stopping at 65Gb. That's me just re-ripped all my CD's having previously had them as mp3. The library will of course get bigger, but it won't be quick. I am tempted to look at getting a fit-pc next year and having it as a dedicated music server/storage. That way I can get all my FLAC off my works laptop. I can also go wired rather than wireless as at the moment. 3. I agree that there's something bad about my system. It's a very small firm with a retained IT bod but he's not much good. I prefer to keep my own machine clean, but I also fiddle... Time for a full reinstall! 4. MSCONFIG - yes I am familiar and have hoovered it out as best as I dare. I attach a screenshot of those that I have not had the courage to uncheck and would be grateful for any more I can get rid of. 5. I do have a 500Gb external drive for back ups and will be backing up all my music, photos and docs before the reinstall. 6. I have ZoneAlarm running (this actually seems to take quite a while to lad though), use AVG CCleaner and Spyware Doctor regularly and its apparently all clean. Any ideas on a light firewall? Or should I revert to Micro$not's own? I never considered that the FLAC files were dragging the startup time down - but tried a defrag last week and I gave up after 14 hours and 23%! This is what brought me to the idea of creating a partition. Looks like it's a winner when I do the back up and reinstall. Cheers again for the help - looking forward to more!

Re: [slim] Should I create a Partition?
OK, although I seem to have hijacked my own thread about start-up times rather than creating a partition, it's all massively helpful. So - no malware, clean antivirus scan, no cache/temp etc, down to 14 startup items and 42 processes running. Startup time is reduced to, wait for it 10 mins (including waiting 2 mins for SC). I think a full re-install (which will sort out my cr4p startup time) and create a partition (so the FLAC files will go on a clean partition and not be fragmented, ever) is in order.

Re: [slim] Should I create a Partition?

Best startup time I can get down to is 7 mins, a vast improvement on 15, but 2 or 3 mins is probably the norm.

[slim] Cyrus Two no worky - fix or upgrade?
Some time back I got a free Cyrus Two and PSX off freecycle and can say I grew to love the sound very much. I have some Mission 773 hooked upto the Cyrus. 10 days ago, the Cyrus stopped working. Spotting a (newer version of) Cyrus Two on ebay, with an hour to run, I jumped and bought it. It arrived today and hooked up to the PSX, power up and I had sound for a few seconds... Not happy. On Googling, I relised I should have removed the two fuses from the Two, but they seem to be OK and removing them has not made any difference. So - do I get either/both of them repaired (Cyrus repair will no doubt cost an arm and a leg) or do I bite the bullet and pony up for a new replacement amp? Roksan Kandy K2 is tempting but the nearest shop is 100 miles away... The replacement C2 was £125 - add in the cost of a repair job and the money would go quite a way to a new amp. What to do??

Re: [slim] Cyrus Two no worky - fix or upgrade?
Good news! I had a call today from the repair place to say they had fixed both amps. There was a bust capacitor in the PSX which blew both the amps. You live and learn. However, the repair chappie asvised strongly not to hook up the PSX. He could not see the benefit of itthe power supplies are the same in each Now, I am a noob to the advantages of the PSX, but the sound was noticably better with it hooked up (before it blew both amps of course!). He said the boards that he replaced in both amps were the last he could source, to a repeat problem would be the end of an amp in his view. But on the basis that the PSX is now repaired, surely it won't blow an amp again? He put the bust capacitor down to age - dry as he called it. He said there were 15 in the PSX and if another blew then the PSX would blow the board in the amp again. So, the dillema is, do I hook the PSX up? I have two working amps now, so I guess one could be a spare... I guess I will need to remove the two fuses in the amp before I hook up the PSX (assuming hook it up!) - repair bloke said he had put them back in.

I live in the sticks and repair places are few and far between. This guy was a TV repairer (who actually gets their telly repaired these days??). I am very very tempted to take the fuses out of the original (push switch) amp and hook up the PSX. I still have the ebay (rocker switch) amp which I could box up and save as a replacement.

The rocker switch amp will be the newer of the two so I will stick with this on it's own for the time being.

Thanks for the replies. The fridge is brand new and belongs to the landlord. I imagine it is on the same electrical circuit as my amp etc in the same room.

Re: [slim] My fridge makes my speakers pop...
Ok, by way of an update... The OP was made when I was in a rental place. Since then I have lived in a caravan (with a different fridge) and am now living in the finished straw bale house (again with a different, but brand new fridge). Sadly, the popping has not been fixed. The only thing constant in the process is my Cyrus 2 amp. I used different speakers in the caravan due to lack of space but am now back with my Mission floor standers in the new house. When I built the new house, I made sure the fridge was on it's own spur, so as to be as far electronically from the other sockets. There is still a pop/spike, but it is less pronounced. Sadly I now have significantly less money than when I made the OP so a power conditioner is out of the question. I have/did, some time ago, resign myself to the fact that the spike was not doing much/any harm to my amp/speakers and that it is something I need to live with. I have filtered the spike out of my hearing, a bit like someone would do with trains living next to a busy railway line! -- thurstongarden Thurston Garden SB2 - Duet Controller - SB Radio - Cyrus Two & PSX (off Freecycle!) - Mission 773's thurstongarden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20903 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75596 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
