[slim] Re: SB2 as wireless bridge
Hi Nikhil, please write a few words about how the SB compares to the ZP80 from your point of view/experience. People like me just know the ZP80 from the specs and the sonos forum. Would be great to listen to someone who really owns both systems. -- docbee docbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=26 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22927 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: SB2 as wireless bridge
Guys, thanks for the help. I had to ignore the problem for over a week - was tied up with work. But now finally I have it working as I wanted to. There were several things working against me, but I attacked them one by one. My first crossover cable was busted. Then my D-Link router did not initially want to issue an IP address to any device bridged over the SB2 (the logs gave this message, which I assumed to be a uPnP or Rendezvous associated thing). Packet Dropped Target IP(239.255.255.250), Target Port(1900) Spoof IP(192.168.0.109), Spoof Port(2048) Spoof Attack fromd MAC(SB2_MAC_ADDRESS) Detect However after ignoring it for a while, it seemed to give IP addressed to both the devices that I had connected to it; the wonderful SlingBox from SlingMedia and my newly aquired Sonos ZP-80 zone player. Am currently doing a side by side comparison of the ZP80 with the SB2 - will report on that in a separate thread.

When you have wireless enabled, plug the device into the Ethernet jack of the SB2. Then go back to network setup, either by pressing the left button for 5 seconds or by power-cycling. With wireless enabled and a device plugged into the Ethernet port, you should see a new option in network setup, provided you choose wireless networking: enable wireless bridge. I believe you need a crossover cable here. That's what I ended up using in between my SB2 and a laptop when testing wireless bridging and it worked fine. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22927 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the super quick replies. I did find the 'enable wireless bridge' option. Now I need to locate a crossover cable.

Regds, Nikhil Actually I believe if you get the enable wireless bridge option it's already working. Strictly speaking you need a crossover cable, but there are a lot of auto-sensing ports out there. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22927 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
