Hi,
After using a linksys WAG54g I am using VOIP now with a speedtouch 780wi modem/router.
Unfortunaly my Roky SB500 does not find my fireflu music server anymore.
When I connect a pc with a wireless connection it finds the firefly library without a problem. WMM and multicast are turned on.
Thing is that when I connect a PC or MAC with wireless connection and start iTunes my Roku sees the library. After closing iTunes the Roku does not see the library no more.
Hopefully someone can help.
Thanks Wouter.

If that's the case, you are either firewalling udp port 5353 from 224.0.0.251, or your router isn't passing multicast packets. (Only in one direction -- from wireless to wired. Apparently that's reasonably common).

Hi,
I am using firefly on a NSLU2 (sorry should have mentioned that), so reinstalling on windows is not a option.
Seem's to me that what Ron is saying is the most plausible. But I am not using a firewall on any machine on my local network and the problem started by replacing my linksys WAG54G for the VOIP modem/router Thomson 780 Wi.
So, there must be a problem with the new modem/router but I can figure it out.
So if there is someone out there with a working environment with the same modem and is using firefly with a wireless Roku.......or other suggestions !
Thanks.

Yup, that's it. It must be that that modem doesn't do multicast by default. You can try going into the web interface of the device (if it has one) and seeing if it has an option to enable multicast, or igmp. If it does (either of those options) enable it.
It might be worth checking for a firmware update for that device as well.

Hi,
I just bough a SoundBridge a few days ago. It does not work - I have tried everyting I could think of... It can see the network and the router just fine - and can play internet radio. But it can´t see the firefly media server on my PC.
Using the SpeedTouch 780 wireless router. Perhaps it just doesn´t work with this type of application.
Any suggestion is appreciated. Pretty soon I am giving up on my SoundBrige and returing it to the store.

If it is the thomson 780 causing the problem why does a wireless pc with iTunes see the firefly server but the roku does not ?!
What is the difference on the wifi side between a pc and a roku ?!
Shouldn't be any. What kind of encryption are you using on your wireless connection? One person reported they had problems with shared key wep, and had to use open key wep. Their symptoms were exactly as you describe. PC on wireless can see it, roku on wireless can't.
That might be something to check.

I am using WEP Encryption. Whether it uses a shared key or not I do not know because this is no option to choose from.
Does somebody knows what kind of WEP encryption the thomson is using ?
Thanks
Wouter.
I found this on the speedtouch site:
http://www.zensupport.co.uk/knowledgeba ... x?id=10531
It seems to indicate that multicast is only "experimentally" supported. It might be that this article or a call to tech support for the speedtouch might help.
