2008-07-09 Thread 808htfan
I've been using my SB2 happily for a while now and all of a sudden it keeps disconnecting from both Squeezecenter/Squeezenetwork. I repeatedly have to go through the network setup (without making any changes) to reconnect. Looking at the 'Current Settings', everything looks correct...MAC, IP,

Re: [slim] Static IP address problem

This sounds like a corner case that was never tested. I suspect 95% or more users of SD products have slimserver installed, even if they use SC a lot. And of the 5% that use SC exclusively, how many use static IP addresses. An interesting bug with an interesting solution. -- maggior

I was just thinking of the VU on cassette recordings where you were supposed to keep the recording level below zero for minimum distortion. I realise that the digital recording level is something quite different but when I look at VU meters casette decks always spring to mind. -- gusi
