Don't know if this is related, but since I updated to 8.10 I find that I cannot run squeezecenter on wireless, only on a wired connection. I can hit the wireless IP on port 9000 with a browser so I know that port is open. Now looking in to the 3483 udp question. -- thomaswp

I spoke too soon. The box was behaving very erratically after all this so I added port 9000 on tcp too (even though I figured that this was working because of my ability to log on to the web page). Code: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT

I gave up - the s.box kept saying it lost the s.center. AND I found that I was incorrect in that I could hit port 9000 from another machine when I checked. So I did some more googling and found that I am not the only person with 8.10 wireless access issues... Code: sudo

I built a box with new, but inexpensive equipment to run freenas with the idea of running squeezecenter on that. Unfortunately I've found out that slimnas and the current AMD versions of freenas don't work. My new hardware is not supported by the older versions of freenas. My other thought was

If you're really using a Duet rather than a Squeezebox 3 then you're out of luck with those versions of SlimServer, I'm afraid. The Duet needs SqueezeCenter 7. Steve. -- SteveEast SteveEast's Profile:

I run debian (almost) headless. You sometimes need a keyboard and display if things break and you have to run a rescue CD. I normally connect from another machine that has a X-server, but VNC is another way to manage the box without a head. One suggestion. AFAIK, UFS is NOT a journalled file

What format are your files in? If they are MP3, check to make sure that you only have ID3v2 tags, and no ID3v1 tags or APE tags. It is possible to have multiple sets of tags, and that will mess things up. If your files are FLAC with standard Vorbis comments for tags, I don't have any good

Weird. This is the 3rd time I have observed that all the playlists in my playlist folder have vanished. No files in there. I seem to recall I have observed this after upgrades (7.2 to 7.3 and now 7.3 to 7.3.1), but didn't make note. I just remember that the same thing happened before. Has anyone
