Slimserver running on PC running w2k. All internet access via a Draytek 2600Plus router with built in ADSL modem, which is handling the PPPoE connection to my ISP. Nothing propriertary is installed. My SB2 is connected via ethernet cable directly to one of the router's spare ports. I do have a USR wireless g access point running in infrastructure mode, but I don't connect my SB2 to the network via it. For reference, I also have a trusty old SliMp3 connected wirelessly to my network via another USR wireless g access point runningin client mode. But, the issues of connection to squeezenetwork occurred prior to me bothering to reconnect my old SlimP3 after I bought the new SB2.
No error messages appear on my SB2 which is weird. when I select the 'connect to squeezenetwork' option when my pc running slimserver is off, the SB2 shows 'connecting to squeezenetwork' for a few seconds, and then the screen goes blank. Bumping the menu, causes the display to re-appear, but the connection issue remains. No errors, it just does nothing! If the slimserver is up and running, the SB2 'usually' connects to the squeezenetwork, and when it does, switching off the PC does not affect the connection. If I then sign out from squeezenetwork and try to reconnect it fails again, just as described earlier. dean Wrote: > Ok, that makes more sense (I couldn't figure out how your computer > was working in the first place.) > > What exact error does choosing SqueezeNetwork display? > > Also, are you using PPPoE software on your PC (or some other software > > required by your ISP) to connect to the internet? > > > On Sep 2, 2005, at 8:21 AM, jhall_uk wrote: > > > > > Sorry - typo. > > > > Gateway 192.168.10.1 > > > > My internet access works just fine and ip addresses are getting > > allocated ok. > > > > The MAC address is also ok. > > > > Cheers, > > John > > > > dean Wrote: > > > >> Ah, there's the problem.
