I realize in my last post I said I was giving up but.... After many phone calls to Slimdevices, my ISP and my router(2Wire) manufacturer I think I have solved my problem of sudden disconnects and non connects with MySqueezebox.com when my main computer is off. A tech from Slimdevices put me on the right track by suggesting I turn off the router/modem's firewall to test the Network. Unfortunately my ISP Bell Canada has it's own firmware on the 2Wire router/modem which prevents users from accessing many settings including turning off the fire wall(many administrative settings for the router are password protected by Bell even though some are accessible through the browser at 192.168.2.1. Anyway by searching the net I found a work around for Bell's router/modem (2wire 2701HG-G) (at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22591605-Internet-How-To-Use-A-Separate-Router-With-A-2Wire-Modem). The work around allows users to disable the router and wireless function of the 2wire and hook up a router of their own ( I used an old Linksys WRT54gl router with Tomato_1.19 Firmware ). For users that are able to access router and firewall settings you may be able to find a simpler method of turning off the router and wireless functions of the 2Wire and inserting another router. Since I have made these changes mysqueezebox.com seems to connect and run uninterrupted on both wired and wireless players and there are no problems turning on, off and on again SB players while the computer is off as there were in the past. I have only tested this out today for two intervals of 3 - 4 hours each but the behaviour of the players has changed for the better. I will update this in a few days to confirm that it works and plan to leave one player on mute connected to mysqueezebox.com overnight to test it out. Again thanks to those of you who had patience with me and helped sort this matter out.
