What are you using as your IP address in SlimServer's DNS entry? You have 3 possibilities:
1. Your router's IP address. By far the most common. However you have to set your router to act as a DNS server and even then I couldn't get it to work for me. 2. Your DSL modem's IP address. Just like the router, it can act as a DNS server. This works for me some of the time, but when I get "Can't find address for SqueezeNetwork" I know it's not working. 3. An external IP address. IMHO the best option. It always works for me. You can use the one your ISP is providing for you - your router will pick this up. I believe your computer will also pick this up if you're using DHCP - type "ipconfig /all" at a command prompt (Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt). When a change is made to a website's IP address, it takes some time to filter down to all DNS servers, so the problem may resolve itself in a day or two. However if your DNS server was never working properly in the first place, it will store its old information without updating it and the Squeezebox will always read from this old cache, remaining broken for good. AOL has to follow the same networking conventions as everyone else. They are supplying your router and/or your computer with an external IP address as a DNS server - it will be outside your "home network range" of 192.168.1.x. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21305 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
