Well I've put in a fixed IP address but I still have to sit there watching the blue thing go round in a circle for ages before I can see my list of albums and select a song and to actually hear some music. I timed it and it took 10 mins from when I selected the first menu item until the radio actu

Hi I've been having the same problems with the Radio. Just to be sure, when you say to give it a fixed IP address do you mean defining one in the router's admin page? -- padzster padzster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevic

Guys on the chance that I will be thought an idiot (like that's not happened before), I must confess to accidentally doing something that appears to have cured the intermittent connectivity issues I was having after upgrading to 7.4.2. In despair one morning after the Boom quit playing abruptly,

Same issue here - had no issue until the 7.4.2 firmware arrived, but it has happened very frequently since then. What worked as a solution for me (so far) was setting a static IP address for the radio by associating the its MAC address with an IP address in my router. -- Adam_F

I have the same problem. Radio dropping connection - and icon becomes blue. Thought that the issue was solved with 7.4.2 but no - problem was there before and the problem is there now. Boom an SB3 have no issues - connecting. I use both mysb.com and local server with fixed ip. I actually though a

This is a fair point - I fixed the radio IP address and THEN the server I didn't try just fixing the IP address of the server, which might be all that was needed - it was after all the radio that was losing sight of the server. Fixing the IP address on the PC running the server is much easier th
