[slim] Re: Wireless bridge / Firmware crash
Well, there's an existing bug where DHCP requests an IP address with the wrong MAC when the SB2 is in bridging mode. It's possible there could be other bugs related to that, although I've never seen any of what you describe. You might want to set it to a static address, if you haven't already. If it has a static ip and still does that... you might have a hardware problem. I have two Squeezeboxen here, and they have been absolutely flawless for me in bridging so far. Admittedly, I haven't done any really super-bandwidth-intensive stuff with them, but I've _never_ seen them crash or act even a tiny bit funny. Since you haven't gotten any other replies, I'd tend to think it's a hardware problem. (which is a bummer, but at least it should be fixable... not something you're stuck with.) -- Malor Malor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21264 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I did some 'speed tests' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=75876&postcount=4) in bridged mode. The tests saturated the connection (about 14 Mbps in my case), but only for about 30 seconds or so. Worked flawlessly for me. How long does it take to cause a crash in your case? -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21264 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I can't get it to crash without the music playing (all the music is Apple Lossless) and a long playlist. So I suspect your analysis is right. It's not all that easy to reproduce on demand - so I suspect it's a combination of a lot of wireless bridging, at the same time as a playlist refresh etc. -- GregD GregD's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=248 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21264 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
