1) How long would you guess it would take to scan a ~1200 song library?
2) How does that explain the browsing directly the the song file which
both SS and the ROKU SEE, that it still will only play the first song?
BTW, I'm going to do some more testing because I've had some very
random file
OK, I just noticed something. I have rescan music library set to off in
the web interface. I had set it to 1am with the ROKU but apparently its
not actually turned on so I have no clue why it finds songs over night
on its own.

just to clarify what addersses are being asked for:
every device that sit on your netowrk must have a unique IP address.
So, the SB3 will have it's own IP address and your PC where you are
running Slimserver will have a different IP address.
DHCP is a method of automatically giving a network

Is phone support a viable option? I called it twice (this morning during
business hours) and no-one is answering.

I've never tried, but I believe it usually works. The Mac expo may
have pulled most of the support people away from supporting.

According to the documentation on the actual Slimserver software

No, proceed with startup
I don't get that screen and I am forced to deal with Network issues,
If you haven't got the regular menu then you're not connected to the

you're connected to anything.

Are those steps you gave steps I can make using the remote on the SB3 or

Thanks for your help Mr. StinkingPig, but I am afraid even though I have
been in software for 22 years, these questions aren't so easy.
So
1) verify that the Slimserver is running
I can only assume that since I can see it up that it is running.
2) and that the firewall isn't blocking it.

Are these not the basic steps?
1) Some kind of general connection is made to the wireless router once
I enter its encryption/password key. This seems happy.
2) Since I select Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP) it goes and
does something and comes back.
3) It displays the found IP address
