Hey Guys, Just wanted to thank everyone here. I finally got my sb3 to connect to ss. Anyway, i still don't know what's wrong.

Are the laptops running a DHCP server, by any chance? The router, by default, will have it's own DCHP server and should be asigning an IP to the squeezebox. But if laptops are also running their own DHCP server, then maybe that is confusing things. In that case, perhaps the laptop is giving the SB a new IP address as soon as you connect the wi-fi enabled laptop and you can no longer connect to SB via the router? -- gutted http://www.last.fm/user/gutt3d/ Slimserver 6.3.1 +MusicIP Mixer 1.7 +MoodLogic 2.7.1.18 +AlienBBC 1.02a +Slimscrobbler 0.34 Windows 2000 Professional sp4 Intel Celeron 1.4GHz 512MB RAM Squeezebox 1 wireless (Player Firmware Version: 40) Library of approx 6600 MP3s gutted's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=147 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28149 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

This one is really stumping me. I'm not convinced by the firewall theory because that would require the firewall (on the PC) to know whether the packet that hit it came from a wired or wireless segment, and that's not really possible.

[slim] Re: Cannot connect to slimserver
Do you absolutely have to have the server wireless? A wireless server is a bad idea. Even if you can get it working, you may experience bandwidth issues and you'll be doubly-vulnerable to interference. Yes, here's the part where someone comes in and says "works for me" but it's still a bad idea and if you can avoid it, you definitely should. No other server you connect to is wireless, don't treat SlimServer any differently. At this point, it looks like the router is running in AP isolation mode, where wireless clients can't hear each other. This is strange because your router probably doesn't support this mode. Also other users of your router haven't reported this problem. You may still have firewall issues though. In an effort to be helpful, some firewalls keep running even when they're disabled. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28149 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

If you are connecting to Squeezenetwork over wireless then the problem has to be with the LAN connection. Is the slimserver laptop hard wired to the router, or is it wireless linked? Did you say you could ping the SB3 from the laptop? The SB3 should do the following from power on (plug in) #Welcome message #Obtain IP #attempt to connect to slimserver if failed screen goes blank #Press left arrow then up/down arrow to "current settings" # use arrows to see your current networking settings. You should get IP address, gateway ,wireless id, etc without a server present. Your findings will be good indication of what the SB3 is seeing. Wireless is usually the most problematic of all. It may be worth doing a reset of the SB3 and reconfiguring the wireless connection from scratch, if all else fails. -- Ramage P2 266MHz,Linux CC 3.2, SlimServer Version: 6.3.1 - 8278, Alien 1.04 P4 2.6GHz, Win XP, Slimserver Version: 6.5.0, Alien 1.06 Ramage's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5343 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28149 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
