Squeezebox™ Owner’s Guide

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 can’t 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:

. Open System Preferences > Sharing, and click ‘Firewall’

. Click ‘New...’ to create a new rule

3. For ‘Port Name:’ choose ‘Other’

. For ‘Port Number, Range or Series:’ type ‘383, 000’

5. For ‘UDP Port Number(s):’ specify ‘383’ (Mac OS 0. only)

6. For ‘Description:’, type ‘SlimServer’

7. Click OK, and ensure that your new exception is checked on

Windows®: Windows® XP Service Pack  turns on a built-in firewall by default. You will
need to configure the firewall to allow access to SlimServer. To do this:

. Go to Control Panel

. Click Security Center

3. Click Windows Firewall under ‘Manage security settings for:’

. Click the Exceptions tab

Add an exception for the following three ports by clicking ‘Add Port...’:

• Port number: 383 (TCP) - Name: SlimServer Control
