NetBEUI is a wire protocol, like the IP part of TCP/IP. It's just a
format for data packets on an Ethernet. It's pretty simple and
limited, but it works okay for a batch of computers that are locally
connected. (it's not routable, so you can't use it to talk with stuff
outside a local LAN.)
Good news, I found the culprit! I'm using a Motorola Surfboard900 as my
wireless cable modem and the SB2 would drop after about 5-15 minutes,
onle when WPA was enabled. The Motorola Surfboard is also connected to
a Netgear 8 port switch which connects my wife's Mac G4, a Vonage VOIP
router and SNA
Well my problem goes away as soon as I switch to WEP 64 bit. It seems
that the SB2 is having a problem staying connected to my Motorola
Surfboard 900 with WPA encryption. I've contacted Slimdevices tech
support and they only said 'h, that's odd.'. Hopefully they
will get a Surfboard in the
I have used wireless for some time using softsqueeze with mixed results.
Intermittant dropouts and on one occassion complete loss of connection
for a day even though I tried changing channels. Wireless appears to be
unable to pass through some wall surfaces and relies upon scatter ot

And in slimdemage's case, it was "wireless card was broken".
Electronics stuff breaks all the time. The only thing that makes it
forgivable is that the failure rate diminishes over time for a long
period. (ie, some X devices will fail in the first 10 minutes, some
smaller number in the first da
In myy case it is definitely using WPA that is the problem with my
Motorola Sufboard 900.. I switched to 64 bit WEP and it stays
connected eternally. Switch back to WPA and it drops within 15 minutes

I don't think the problem is specific to the router but rather is
specific to the connection with slimserver. When I'm experiencing this
problem I can still connect and listen to streams on Squeezenetwork
without any problem - all wirelessly. My Slimserver PC is wired and my
SB3 is wireless.

Previous posts mention the SB2 working well via wireless, and the
possible use of ethernet over power lines? Can anyone else comment on
either of these? Is the SB2 WiFi more solid than SB3? I am hoping to
have a working Squeezebox one day. I bought an SB3 then returned it
after the wireless failed

Some people (I haven't tried it) report excellent results from using a
HomePlug, which provides ethernet over the powerline. If wireless
doesn't work well enough, and you can't use wired, this is worth
considering.

The problem seems to come and go. I've tried everything to reproduce
it. I thought it may have something to do with rescanning or using a
vpn connection
Let me know if you find a fix for this, I'm having the exact same
problem and Slim support is not responding.

The reason I updated to FW35 (from FW28) was because I was constantly
losing the connection to SlimServer. I thought the problem was cured
with FW35 - but it's definitely bette

Sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, the only thing I did was a
factory reset of the SB3, re-entered the networking parameters and
everything was OK.

The server is wired. I've also turned off the firewall in trying to get
this to work.

Is the server wired or wireless? Wireless will use twice the bandwidth
of wired.
Are you running a firewall on the server? Is it one that -works-?
NVIDIA's firewall apparently doesn't work, randomly mangling packets
which breaks things.

I've just started experiencing (yesterday) a very similar problem to

Sorry, I simply can't agree with you at all. I love my SB2 because,
It works perfectly.
It doubles as a digital radio.
The sound quality is excellent.
The SB2 interface and remote are excellent (but I just wish there was a

In this case I don't believe that this problem has anything to do with
the wireless networking. The SB3 connected to the wireless network
successfully every time and SqueezeNetwork worked. It would not connect
to the SlimServer.
Having said that, I am not in a position to try running the SB3 wire
I'm not speaking of your specific problem cjhabs, but in general it
seems that the most frustrating problems people have are
wireless-related and somewhat out of Slim's control.
I think as more wireless devices are deployed, it will become even more
of a headache. Wireless technology is nifty in
Update to my problem.
My SB3 did not come back to life after rescanning. A factory reset of
SB3 and re-enter exactly same networking info and again its back up and

This morning it was still up - as it had been for the past 6 weeks
since updating to FW35.

So sad, and so true. After wasting many hours of my own time trying to
make this product function as advertised I returned it for a full
refund.
This thread seems to have drifted a little.
Anyway - just a quick update.
On my way out of the door this morning I noticed that the SB3 again had
a blank screen.
I had just started a clear database/rescan on the SlimServer. I don't
know if that caused it or if it had lost connection earlier. I als

I had a similar problem with my SB3 a couple of weeks ago. Frustrating
experience! Although, slimserver was working fine from the web
