Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Advice needed
Important lesson for me: it was the power supply after all. If you haven't followed the thread, I bought an old SB Radio with no power supply. I tried to use my Boom's PS with it just for testing purposes, but couldn't get the click wheel to function, so I couldn't connect to my wireless network. Impatient man that I am, i almost jumped to the conclusion that the radio was broken, or that I needed to do something arcane with software or something. Finally, I just decided to invest an extra $11, buy a power supply and...it works. Setting it up now, but so far, so good. Everything behaves as it should.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Advice needed
I think I'm doing this wrong and being careless and impatient. Rather than flail at the problem without ruling out one big possibility, I ordered a $12 power supply from Amazon that's radio-specific. I'll hook that up early next week and see if it fixes the various small oddities of this radio. If not, I probably bought a parts machine, but this thing is just flaky enough that I think it's worth being more systematic and thoughtful.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Advice needed
All - As noted in another thread, I bought a SB radio off ebay. The thing came without a power supply, and I posed the question "Can I use a Boom or Duet supply for testing purposes?" Radio came today. I hooked it up to my Boom's power supply and it appeared to work. It came up properly with the early screens for connecting to my wifi network, but... The selection wheel (or whatever you call it) doesn't let me scroll through wireless networks. I can turn it all I want - and it appears to turn completely normally - but it doesn't do anything. So given that I was using a power supply that was almost, but not quite, right, is my problem more likely a.) lack of a proper PS or b.) a broken radio, in which case, does someone need parts? tks, s. satkinsn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109175 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

I'm probably not doing this right, but I'm seeing something a little different. At work, my interest is solely in the streaming radio service (MySB). If I use DHCP, the radio reports what the internal address is on the remote login page, while reporting the ISP IP when looking at Squeezebox information. Same thing is true when using static I.P., though it's less useful because (obviously) I already know what the internal address is. s. -- satkinsn satkinsn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87829 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Another static IP question
toby10 - I was asking how the radio could show two I.P. addresses, and both be valid. Spent a little time reading yesterday and learned (I think) that in some configurations the target box (in this case, the radio) can have its absolute address exposed, as well as the internal i.p. If I followed what I was reading correctly, it makes things like streaming media more robust when the source of the stream can point directly to the target, as opposed to purely going through the local gateway.

Thanks, Toby/vrette/et al.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Another static IP question
All (and especially Steve) - My first runs didn't work. Steve, I took your recipe from the other thread and attempted to marry it to what I gleaned from the Ubuntu page you noted. My file looked like this: auto lo iface lo inet loopback mapping eth0 script /etc/network/if_mapping auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address xxx.xxx.x.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway xxx.xxx.x.xxx dns xxx.xxx.x.xxx up echo 'nameserver xxx.xxx.x.xxx' > /etc/resolv.conf I assume the nameserver address in the last line is the same as the dns server on the previous line. Also, there should be spaces between 'nameserver xxx.xxx.x.xxx' and '>' - correct? The only other issue is that when I delete the rest of the file, which pertains to the current wireless connection, the word 'on' appears at the end of two lines and I can't get either instance to delete in vi. So the file looks like this, exactly... auto lo iface lo inet loopback mapping eth0 script /etc/network/if_mapping auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address xxx.xxx.x.xx netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway xxx.xxx.x.xxx dns xxx.xxx.x.xxx up echo 'nameserver xxx.xxx.x.xxx' > /etc/resolv.conf on on Thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? tks, s. -- satkinsn satkinsn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87829 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Will test and - as you correctly put it - play about. Soulkeep - Thanks also. I considered the very option you suggest, but because of the peculiar nature of our set-up, our chief engineer (who is also a solid networking guy) tells me I'd have a fail. Apparently the system queries the boxes hanging off of it, and if it thinks it sees a router, it defaults to fail.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Another static IP question
All - After spending a few days looking at potential answers, I've hit a bump. I want to use my Squeezebox Radio at my office. Take as a given that I cannot set a static IP address from the router end. Further, though the Radio connects promptly using DHCP over the wired network, I'm not allowed to use DHCP either, for reasons having nothing to do with the Radio. I want to assign a static IP address to the Radio. In order to accomplish this, I set up a wireless hotspot in my office and SSH'ed in to change the interfaces file. However, the only sample I have from the web is specific to setting a static IP on a *wireless* network, not a wired one. the relevant part of the file goes... auto eth1=Your-WIRELESS-NETWORK-SSID iface YOUR-WIRELESS-NETWORK-SSID net static etc., etc. In a wired LAN, what should go in place of these two lines? Can I do without? tks, s. -- satkinsn satkinsn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11398 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87829 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
