    Connection issue to Mac

    Greetings first issue with me beloved squeeze box :-(

    The squeeze box is failing to connect to the slimserver which is in a mac (leopard)

    connect to the network gets an dhcp address, then fails to connect

    however I can ping the squeeze box and can control it/ play mp3s send alien bbc broadcasts etc from the slim server!!

    firewall is disabled on the mac and the squeeze box is on ethernet to the router.

    help any ideas???

    slim server 7

          Can you revert to 7.0? Isn't 7.01 beta at this point?

          I'm running 7.0 on a Mac MINI OS 10.4.11 without any problems, FYI. Have you tried a hard reset? Hold down '1' on the remote as you plugin power to the SB3.

              Is this a MacBook? And do you connect through WLAN?
              Mine tends to shut off WLAN after a while if it's not used so you cannot reach the mac from the outside. If you open any connection (reloading an internet page or something) it works again.
