New Member w/ Sonic Blue Rio Receiver Connection Problem

Don't know if this is the correct forum for a Sonic Blue Rio receiver problem but thought I would give it a try. I recently switched out my router to a Linksys and now cannot get the Receiver to connect to the Server. I get "Searching for Music Server" message and then IP of 169.254.112.246. I have tried the following:
- Re-installed V 1.03 of Server software - Nope
- Installed a 10BaseT hub between the Server and the Receiver and set the Network speed to 10 Mbs - Nope
- Installed a crossover cable between the Server and Receiver and set the Server network speed to 10 Mbs (note that I tried to figure out how to give the Receiver an IP address but could not) - Nope

Running Win2K w/ Linksys Router, Linksys 4 Port Switch+ USB Print Server and 10 Mbs hub.

Help, running out of options (other than to throw it out the window!).

Yes, this is the right forum, but that's a stumper. You tried all the things we would have suggested to fix the problem.

One other thing to try. You said you used a 10baseT hub between the server and the receiver. Did you try hooking everything back up to the linksys router, but with the 10baseT hub between the receiver and the router?

Yeah, what he said: leave the computer plugged into the router and connect the Receiver to the router via a cheap hub -- i.e. the Receiver goes into one port, and the hub's uplink port goes to the router.

It looks like the Receiver's not getting an IP address from your DHCP server. I assume that you're using a DHCP server provided by your router?

The other thing we normally check is that the Receiver's getting Ethernet (as opposed to PNA) link. Can you include _all_ of the text from the screen of the Receiver with a failed boot? Which lights are lit on the back of the Receiver?
