Good, both *192.168.2.10* and *192.168.2.11* are local IP addresses.
This is just a hunch, but I don't think either one of those is your
Squeezebox hardware.

I'm pretty sure that “MainSqueeze” is the NetBIOS name of your main
computer, the one that you also run Squeezebox Server on. I believe
191.168.2.10 is IP address of this computer. (I ain't sure, but I think
191.168.2.11 is another IP address used by this same computer.) In any
case, it would be nice to know what exactly is the IP address(es) used
by your Squeezebox player(s).

The Squeezebox player should also be given a NetBIOS name (i.e.
computer name or device name) and it should NOT be “MainSqueeze”
because you have already used that name for your main computer. Reusing
the name is a mistake, but it won't render your network inoperable, just
crippled. (I know--I accidentally named one of my routers with the same
name as my computer a couple of days ago. It took me a while to figure
out what was wrong.)

If you think 192.168.2.11 is the address of your Squeezebox player, you
could unplug the player then PING that address from the computer. (I
suspect it isn't.) Once you determine the IP addresses for your
player(s) you have made a bit of progress. I don't believe we've
determined that information yet. 

Also, a bit of a complication (but able to be dealt with) is that a
device's local address can change when it or the router is unplugged.
So, you need to know the local addresses (of all your devices,
hopefully) to assist with troubleshooting. That is why a lot of people
use DHCP reservations, to make troubleshooting easier when it's
required. But you don't have to worry about that issue. Just learn how
to ID a devices current local address. There are some tricks, but it
mostly takes a bit of trial and error.)

All of this post is concerned simply with obtaining correct network
information as a grounds for troubleshooting. I had a separate issue to
mention in the next post.
