Troubleshooting

The following tips and answers to frequently asked questions will help resolve problems you may encounter. You can find answers to additional questions on our web site at http://faq.slimdevices.com/.
How do I get back to the Squeezebox Setup menu?
Press and hold the LEFT arrow for five seconds to bring Squeezebox back to the setup menu.
How do I reset Squeezebox to factory default settings?
Plug the power connector into Squeezebox while holding down the ADD button on the remote until you see the Set Up Networking prompt.
The player doesnt obtain an IP address.
Check all your network connections, and make sure that the DHCP server is running. Try a different ethernet cable, even if the hub indicates a good link. Make sure you are using the latest firmware for your router or access point.
Can I connect Squeezebox directly to my computer?
You can connect Squeezebox directly to your computer (without a local network or hub) using an ethernet crossover cable. You can purchase a crossover cable at most retail computer stores. Configure your network adaptor and Squeezebox with static IP addresses so that they can find each other. Visit http://faq.slimdevices.com and search for crossover for additional information.
I cant enter my wireless password.
If your network is using WEP encryption, youll need the hexadecimal WEP key for your wireless network. Hexadecimal keys are either 10 or 26 digits of 0-9 or the letters A to F. Some wireless access points or routers use text passwords for WEP. The configuration software for your wireless device can show the key in hexadecimal. Airport users can use Airport Admin Utilities. Use the Base Station menu to find the Equivalent Network Password and use the value displayed.

The web interface wont come up, even though Squeezebox is working.
Try using the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:9000/. (Be sure to type the http:// part, as some versions of Internet Explorer require it when accessing a URL by IP address.)
How do I find the IP address of the computer where I have installed SlimServer?
On Windows: Click Start > Run, type in cmd and hit enter. In the DOS window, type ipconfig and hit enter. On Mac OS X: Go to System Preferences > Network. Under the Show: drop-down, pick the network interface you are using, then click TCP/IP. Your IP address will be displayed. On Linux or UNIX: Open up a shell and type ifconfig and hit enter.
Squeezebox cant connect to my computer running SlimServer.
This could be due to a firewall being active on the computer. Macintosh: You will have to create a new exception in the built-in firewall to allow the Squeezebox to connect to SlimServer. To do this: 1. Open System Preferences > Sharing, and click Firewall 2. Click New. to create a new rule 3. For Port Name: choose Other 4. For Port Number, Range or Series: type 3483, 9000 5. For UDP Port Number(s): specify 3483 (Mac OS 10.4 only) 6. For Description:, type SlimServer 7. Click OK, and ensure that your new exception is checked on Windows: Windows XP Service Pack 2 turns on a built-in firewall by default. You will need to configure the firewall to allow access to SlimServer. To do this: 1. Go to Control Panel 2. Click Security Center 3. Click Windows Firewall under Manage security settings for: 4. Click the Exceptions tab Add an exception for the following three ports by clicking Add Port.: Port number: 3483 (TCP) - Name: SlimServer Control Port number: 3483 (UDP) - Name: SlimDiscovery
Port Number: 9000 (TCP) - Name: SlimServer Web Third-party Firewalls: Examples of third party software firewalls include: Brickhouse, Norton Personal Firewall, Norton Security Center, PC-Cillin, BlackIce, McAfee Security Center, ZoneAlarm. You will need to configure your firewall software or hardware to allow connections to ports 3483 and 9000 for both UDP and TCP connections. Refer to the instructions that came with your firewall for details. There are detailed instructions for many thirdparty firewalls available on our web site at http://faq.slimdevices.com.
My computer is displaying an error that says that another device on my network is using the same IP address.

If you have a wireless Squeezebox and you have connected it using both ethernet and wireless, your Squeezebox may have created a loop in your network and you need to disconnect one of your network connections. Unplug the ethernet connection or go back to the setup screens to set up your Squeezebox to connect using ethernet.
Im trying to use a mapped network drive like Y:\ for my Music Folder on my Windows computer and it does not work.
If you are using Windows NT, 2000 or XP, SlimServer is running as a Windows service. Windows services do not have permission to use networked drives by default. You must run the SlimServer service as a user who has permission to use the shared volume. To do this, go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services. Find SlimServer and double-click to view the properties. Click on the Log On tab, then click This Account and enter the account information for the user account that has access to the network volume. Tip: The user account for the service must be protected by a password for this to work. If you are still having problems, try using a UNC-style path to specify your music library in the Server Settings page. Instead of X:\path for a mounted volume or mapped drive, use \\SERVER\path\ style addressing. This may work for some servers where direct volume letter mapping does not.
How do I use multiple folders or disks with my music library? You can create links or shortcuts to other folders and place them in your
specified Music Library Folder. The contents of the linked folders will then be part of your Music Library.
I added some music to my library but its not showing up. If you add music to your music library, you may need to tell SlimServer to
rescan your music library. From the web interface, click Server Settings, and click Rescan. SlimServer begins to examine your music folder, looking for new music. Depending on how much music you have, this could take several minutes. The new music will not appear in your music library on the SlimServer until the rescan is complete.
Some of the songs in my iTunes library dont show up on Squeezebox or say STOPPED when I try to play them. Whats up with that?
If youve moved your iTunes music files around, iTunes may export incorrect information about the songs in its library. Youll need to make sure that iTunes has the correct folder for your music library. In iTunes, open Preferences and click on the Advanced tab. If the path to your Music Library folder is incorrect, youll need to correct it. If it is correct, try changing it to a different folder and then change it back to the correct folder. iTunes will then update the information about your music and export that data correctly. (This process wont move any of your music, but it will force iTunes to scan your music library and update the paths to all the songs. iTunes may prompt you to organize your music libraryletting it do this will move and rename your songs.)
