Both must be on the same network segment in order for SqueezeCenter to be
recognized by your Squeezebox Boom. If you are using a large wireless network with
multiple wireess routers or access points, there is a chance that your computer and
your Squeezebox Boom are connecting to different segments. You can confirm this
by verifying the IP addresses assigned to the computer and Squeezebox Boom.
To check the IP address of the computer running SqueezeCenter, open
SqueezeCenter’s web interface, click Settings, and then the Status tab. The IP address
will be listed under the SqueezeCenter Information section.
To check the IP address of the Squeezebox Boom, go to Settings > Information >
Player Information from Squeezebox Boom’s Home Screen. Scroll through the Player
Information screen until you see the IP address.
An IP address is four sets of numbers. Two IP addresses are on the same segment
if the first three sets of numbers match. For example, these addresses are on the same
segment:
192.168.1.110 and 192.168.1.114
But these two are not; notice that the third set of numbers do not match:
192.168.1.110 and 192.168.16.103
If Squeezebox Boom and your computer are not on the same network segment,
you will need to configure your wireless network so that both are on the same
segment and connect to the same DHCP server for their IP addresses. You may need
to consult the party that installed or maintains your network for assistance.
How do I use a static IP with Squeezebox Boom?
If you have set up your network to use static IP addresses, your Squeezebox Boom
will display the message Address Problem – There was a problem obtaining a
DHCP address on your network. Scroll down to Use a static address and press the
navigation wheel. On the following screens you can enter the IP address, subnet mask,
gateway address, and DNS server address information for your network.
