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

Thanks Guys, I'm still at work and i'll try out the suggestions tonight. I'm sure i'm connected to MY OWN wifi. I changed routers and both the ssid matches. Yes i use DHCP. I will try to look into that. I've already tried assigning static ip before. The slimdevice person didn't offer much help.

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

So just to clarify - you can connect wirelessly to squeezenetwork but not to your own server? But you can connect to your server when wired? That sounds like the router is somehow blocking LAN access from the wireless net, which some routers have an option for but not, afaik, yours. Do you have

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)

I think you are right, the SB3 is networking working OK. It should see the server IP/name in settings. Try connecting the server laptop directly to a router port, thus eliminating one wireless link. Various posts on this forum have quoted issues with double wireless links, especially with
