20130823 Outline of Logitech Media Server/Touch Problem

My problem: Sqeezebox Touch is able to communicate with the wireless
router but is not able to connect with the network or squeezebox.com.
Therefore I cannot play my music. I have turned off the Firewall (run by
Norton Internet Security) for testing and it makes no difference. I also
turned off all Norton Internet Security protection and it made no
difference. The Windows Firewall is “off” in that it says it is being
managed by Norton. I know almost nothing about computers so this is
particularly difficult for me.

Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit

Ethernet Adapter Local Area Network:
IPv4 Address:                           192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask:                            255.255.255.0
Default Gateway:                                192.168.1.1

The local network is used to connect my main computer to the internet
(via the Linksys wireless router, as described below) and another old
computer in another room (used rarely).

Player: Squeezebox Touch

Touch Connection: Wireless, using Linksys WRG 54G, ver. 6. The router is
a 2.4 GHz G type. It is set to Automatic Configuration – DHCP. The
router website correctly sees the Local IP Address. The starting IP
Address for the DHCP server is 192.168.100. Squeezebox Touch is able to
find and communicate with the router.

Computer Connection: The computer  (I am using my all-purpose computer)
is connection via one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the router.

Other information: The internet connection is into the Linksys wireless
router. Another router (actually two of them) used for my VOIP Vonage
telephone system is connected to one of the ports of the Linksys router.
Since the setup has worked in the past I do not think that the Vonage
setup is affecting the inability of the Touch to communicate with
mysqeezebox.com.

In “View Network Computers and Devices” in Control Panel Logitech Media
Server (Music Library) is shown as a Media Device (together with my
computer). The Linksys wireless router (WRT54G) is shown under “Network
Infrastructure”.

History: This disconnection problem happens periodically. It usually
corrects itself in a day or two but this time it did not. In any event
such undependability is unacceptable so I need to figure out what is
causing the problem and fix it.


Logitech Media Server Information:

Mysqueezebox Information:
mysqueezebox.com Server IP Address:             50.17.234.107
Ping:                                                   OK
Port 3483 (slimproto):                          OK
Port 9000: (HTTP):                                      OK

Squeezebox Touch Wireless Information:
IP Address:                                     192.168.15.2 (should this be 
192.168.1.x?)
IP Subnet:                                      255.255.255.0
DNS Server:                                     192.168.15.1 (should this be 
192.168.1.x?)

I understand that mysqueezebox.com should obtain its IP address from the
IP provider via the settings made for the wireless router. As mentioned
above the starting IP Address for the DHCP server is 192.168.100. None
of the devices is using an IP address that is anything like that. I am
not sure I understand how this is supposed to work but it seems to me
that might indicate a problem. I suspect that that statement may be
pretty humorous to those who understand this stuff.

I  hope that I have provided the information needed to advise me but not
so much that is is burdensome. I will appreciate any help you are able
to provide. Thanks in advance.
