My SB2 in the kitchen has never done this.

Probably just subtle bugs in the javascripting and use of cookies to
keep track of the current player. Complicated infinitely by the use of
frames for the interface.

I set up internet access to test out streaming to work, but my DSL
uplink wasn't fact enough.
So it's been disabled.
Also I rarely/never leave the Slim web ui open in a browser on the
server and it wasn't open today.

Seemingly an excellent idea.
I can't imagine why you /would/ want your SS indexed by Google, so IOW
no downside.

I've added a robots.txt file, good idea.
Changing the domain we look up may also be a good idea, I didn't think
of using root-servers.net.

Checking who owns 66.249.65.11 - returned the following:
IP: 66.249.65.11
Reverse: crawl-66-249-65-11.googlebot.com
Aliases:
Prefix: 66.249.65.0/24
Prefix Name: Google REACH (Customer Route)
AS: 15169
AS Name: Google Google, Inc
If this is true, looks like Google wants to know more
I wonder if that explains why music started playing on my SB3 at 3:00am
last week and frightened the crap out of my wife, who thought there was
someone in the house.
I closed the virtual server ports defined in the Router. And put an
active block on incoming server connections going to Slim.exe.
I think the google.com lookup is just to your local DNS server - I don't
think it results in a message to google itself.

I have blocked on my gateway all outgoing traffic to 66.249.65.0/19.
(The incoming/outgoing are from the perspective of my server)
I believe things have quiet down (should I be touching wood right

Note:
It seem I have confused 'CIDR: 66.249.64.0/19' with
66.249.65.0/19? and blocked 66.249.65.0/19.
Maybe I should have blocked a bigger range anyways it is still
working.

I believe you Andy. But my Slimserver logs where showing non stop
requests to 66.249.65.11 until I blocked these Ips.
Interesting that you are taking about feeds and I do not know if this
is related but the erratic behavior (happy to hear that oreillymj had
the same problem, thought for a while
If you look at the log - you can see it is Google crawler going over
your Slimserver web interface - downloading music from your webclient.
It is not slimserver requesting anything from google.
Code:

I have the exact same problem; I also have erratic startups of my
Squeezeboxes(Yep they turn on by themselves).
This all started when I upgraded my version of Clarkconnect from
version 3.2 to 4.1. I have an image of my server configuration prior to
the upgrade, I went back to it to confirm that
SlimServer only needs internet access for:
1. Automatic updates (you can turn this off)
2. Internet radio (only if you are pulling streams from Internet
radio)
3. Plugins (RSS feeds, weather, etc.)
4. Public SlimServer access if you've chosen to do so.
Item 2, it may query the station for
That is a good question about your hardware configuration. Are you
behind a router or is your PC directly connected to your ADSL modem? If
the latter case, what IP is your Squeezebox using and/or what DHCP
server is assigning an IP address to it?
You said virtually nothing about your home

One of the first things I do with new software is turn 'automatically
check for updates' off. It sounds like slimserver may be listening for
updates, which is just a guess, but you could try turning it off in
Server Settings|Behavior.

SlimServer broadcasts the date/time to the Squeezeboxes. Could it be
trying to get out across your modem for some reason?
