I had the same problem and it was fixed by a friend. Here is the solution that worked for me. It might be really simple for experts but for a beginner, that should help a lot. Basically, it's a hardware problem and I give as well below a basic explanation of home networking and internet. First, I did it wrong because I tried to connect my Squeezebox to a switch (it will be the same with a hub) and not to a router. Thus, I had 2 devices (computer and SqueezeBox) trying to go on internet while my modem was giving only one ip adress.....
It will work only if your modem is a router at the same time, or if your modem is connected to a router (a router being a switch at the same time is of course more convenient). In my case, I have the modem connected to the router (internet or Wan port), my PC connected to the router and the Squeezebox connected to the router (both on the switch ports). 1 - switch off your modem and your router 2 - reset your modem or wait for 2 minutes for the settings to disappear 3 - power on your modem then your router 4 - the router save ip address (the internet ip address) and dns address from the network (from your provider) 5 - set a fixed ip address for your computer and for the Squeeze box (then your Squeeze box will always see your computer because if you choose dhcp, it's not sure that your box will find easily your computer if this address change). Of course, these ip addresses are only for your home network and are not seen from internet. You might try to leave DHCP for your computer and your box, it should work. 6 - for dns addresses for your computer and your box, set instead the ip address of your gateway (ie your router). Your router obtained the dns address from the modem at step 4. You don't need to specify the real dns address in your computer and your box because the internet side is took in charge by the router. With this solution, your computer and your box are connected directly to the router, speeding up the connections. If you chose at step 5 to leave DHCP, skip this step 6. 7 - from your box, connect to SqueezeNetwork 8 - note your PIN 9 - from Slimserver log to SqueezeNetwork, and write your PIN 10 - done ! I hope this helps. -- sensi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sensi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27977 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
