thanks again guys. I'm looking to set up a dual-boot Windows/Linux boot on my netbook. I have never played with Linux before so have a couple of questions: - Can you recommend a preferred lightweight Linux dispro? I'm looking at Lubuntu, Puppy Linux - Will the music folders I have set up in

Agreed. A dedicated wired Linux server (a Pi included) is always going to be more stable than a Windows box. IMHO you should never try to run a server wirelessly. I am not saying it won't work but it's asking for trouble that you don't need. *Vortexbox LMS 7.9 music on QNAP TS419p via NFS* iThi

I have experienced many of these same issues over the years and I believe there were two primary reasons. First, if the router malfunctions then you will see similar behavior to what you have described. Next time the LMS drops off check your wifi and network with another connected device to make

Thanks guys. The server dropped out again a few hours after I wrote the last note; I tried to unsync two players, and down it went... Will try working it up this evening... Thanks! daytripper's Profile: http://forums.slimd

And you cut the wifi traffic in half . If you have that many players the server should be wired . Btw latest 7.9 will eventually work if you fix your firewall rules and settings in other safety suites ( hint only use the windows provided ones and for example not kaspersky ). It does work for othe

You would be FAR better off if you ran the Netbook/LMS on a wired connection. Wi-fi is inherently not as stable as a wire. The players all have a buffer and to an extent will do error connection but the server will assume that it has a constant connection so give it one. *Vortexbox LMS 7.9 musi

"Never" is good. Not sure why you are having firewall issues with 7.9; rules are the same as earlier versions. Hope it stays solid for you. Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this

Thanks. I followed your instructions (switched to channel 6 which is the least busy of the 1/6/11 channels. We're up & running for now and will see how long it lasts... As for LMS 7.9 - I installed it but the HTTP, CLI & Slimtopro ports all listed as 'FAILED' and the system didn't work (so I roll

Unsync everything. Unplug power to all players. Try a different wireless channel; best to use 1, 6, or 11. Reboot router. Power up players one at a time. If still dropouts, consider using wired connections via powerline. BTW, there in no reason the LMS 7.9 beta should not work. --
