Silly me - not making it clear that this had to do with the Wireless
connecting to the Router. 

And - no cats, but I beat up a couple of the neighbors kids the last
days.

Stateful Inspection, or Stateful Packet Inspection, is part of your
firewall - why is this causing a problem for purely LAN access? What is
the Receiver doing that is being blocked by the firewall which normally
should block only WAN activity?

Also, did you slaughter any black cats while working this out? :)

[slim] Possible solutions to wireless router problems

2008-08-07 Thread kkl

Hi Everybody

Problem: Problems connecting to Wireless router (Specifically Netopia
3357W).

In detail: After a lot of hassle connection my SB Duet Reciever to my
router (Not finding it at all, staying yellow, turning green but no
respons and so on) I finally figured out how to do it. My main problem
was actually connecting after moving it around a bit - from upstairs to
downstairs - nice possibility to be able to move it around (even though
bying another unit is ofcourse the best option). Anyways - figured I
would post this here because I see that connecting to the Netopia 3357W
has been a problem also for others). 

1st: Telnet your router (or ask your ISP for help)
- Choose the "Stateful Inspection" option
- Under UDP no-activity timeout (sec) set it to at least 320 seconds
(default is 180 I think?). 
NOTE: I am not absolutely sure this is part of my solution, but anyways
this is what I did before I discovered the second of my tips here..

2nd: When connecting: Unplugg the power to the Reciever..
- Turn it back on
- Now: Turn of your router and turn it back on
- Be patient...

Now - every time without failure the SQ Reciever finds the network and
the music sources .-)

Hopefully this will help somebody else. If not it only took me about 2
minutes to write this post - and telling yourself you succeded with
something is also a good trick .-)
