Problem resolved. It ended up being a firewall issue, not with
Microsofts firewall settings but with an application that I was not
aware of called Desktop 5.0. At least that is what I have deduced
based on a significant hard disk clean-up effort.

Phew...you seem to be quite confused about IP addresses and WEP keys and
the like. It can be pretty daunting for a newbie, so this is not meant
to be a big criticism, but we do need to work through your
difficulties...

Sorry for any confusion that I may have caused in my last posting.

I disabled encryption and initiated a connection and it timed out.
I enabled encryption again and entered WEP key #1 and it connected to
my primary desk station that contains only a subset of my music.
For whatever reason, Squeezebox will not recognize my music server

If your SB sees more than one slimserver on the network, you will get a
choice at config time as to which one you want to connect to.
WEP is about the wireless connection between your SB and WAP/Router,
nothing to do with what the SB gets up to once its connected to the
network.

Thanks for the quick replies. Apologies, it is 6.2.2.
I will disable encyrption and try it this evening.
If I have slimserver running on two different desk stations, how does
squeezebox know which one I want it to connect to? I ignorantly
thought that is what the WEP key was all about.

Sure, that's what it's supposed to be for. But the likleyhood of it
working with an off-brand client is approaching nil, and it will
increase the crack time from 1 minute to maybe 4. Hence pointless :)

Firstly, do you really mean slimserver 2.2 or actually 6.2? If you've
managed to make something as old as 2.2 work with an SB3 I'm impressed
