Nice to read, below, lots of praise for 771.

Well, mine won't work. I begin to get the feeling the very best inducement to get something other than a Squeezebox is to spend 5 minutes or 5 hours trying to make a SB work.

Ok rant over.

The details -- macbook air, latest software updates all in order. SB3, wireless connected.

I get to the point where it is "Obtaining IP Address", does the count down, and nothing. I suppose I didn't' need to try it 20 times, but I did. I restarted the computer, I restarted the SB, I made sure no software updates are available for the mac. Still the same.

I have no idea what to do now, but a sledge hammer from the garage is suggesting itself. I'm sure that's just the frustration happening.

Last time I used it (with 7.7.0), I'd just got it working -- god knows how, it was the same deal then as now, if I recall correctly.

Is there a magic line of code I need to type in terminal mode, or some such thing that would be self evident if I'd done my PhD in computer science instead of psychology?

Near Squeezebox-icidal frustration aside, I'd sure appreciate a pointer here, cause I'm baffled. Thanks.

Are you using a router? Tried rebooting router or checked settings?

Hi Toby,
Thanks for your reply -- I am using a router. I didn't think to reboot that one! Thanks for the tip, I'll report back!

Well "ffs", as they say on crossover network.

:-/

That solved the problem immediately, and with a lesson I hope I won't forget: reboot everything in the chain!

Thanks Toby!
