I'm running LMS V7.9.0, with four SB3, three via wi-fi and one via cabled Ethernet through an IP switch to the cabled PC. For many months this setup has worked fine, until some changes yesterday...
In order to connect to Australia's new NBN (National Broadband Network), yesterday I had to install a new modem/router. It took several tech support calls and lots of re-configuring to get the Internet connection to work, but eventually we succeeded. But now none of my SB3 can connect to LMS!
My hook-up is a little complicated, but let's just concentrate on the one SB3 that connects via cable, as once we get that one to connect I'm sure that will fix the others too (the cabled one is also my 'primary' SB3, and the most important one to fix first! :-)
I've attached a sketch of my hook-up so you can see how everything's connected. The NBN modem is also a wireless router, but I've disabled all its wireless functions for reasons I won't bore you with. The TP-Link wireless router provides all wi-fi functions, and it's setup hasn't changed from before. (There's other stuff connected to the switch, but I don't think they're relevant to my problem.)
In trying to configure the NBN modem yesterday, I initially couldn't even connect to the modem through Firefox using 192.168.1.1. Eventually I realised that was because my old ADSL modem was 192.168.0.1, and I use fixed IP addresses on all my equipment, so my PC was set to 192.168.0.100. So after changing my PC to DHCP I was able to access the modem set-up, and changed it's IP to 192.168.0.1. Then I changed my PC back to fixed IP, and everything was able to connect to the network and NBN modem.
I can ping all my SB3 from my PC (and from my mobile phone via wi-fi), and they all connect to the home network. But when they go to connect to 'the server', they fail with a 'Can't connect...' message. And of course LMS reports 'Your player was not found...'. Since my IP addresses are now all exactly the same as they were before, I really can't figure out what's stopping the SB3 from talking to LMS, and vice versa.
I have, of course, rebooted the PC, the NBN modem, the switch and the SB3. I even did a factory reset on that primary SB3 and re-configured it again, but still no joy. I've tried temporarily disconnecting the link between the switch and the NBN modem, so there was just the PC-switch-SB3 connected, but still can't connect to LMS. I also tried deleting C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\cache.db, which cured a different LMS problem some time ago, but that didn't solve this problem.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I might restore my precious music network?
Thanks,
Daniel
