Your firewall may be blocking outgoing connections to
the Internet. Ensure the firewall allows access to the
Internet for the Ethernet MAC addresses of your Sonos
components.
•
Your firewall may be configured so that Sonos
components cannot obtain an IP address. If so, your
ZonePlayers and Controllers will display an IP address
in the 169.254.xxx.yyy range even though there is a
router/DHCP server on the network.The DHCP server
built in to some routers may be configured to supply IP
addresses only to devices with specific permitted
Ethernet MAC addresses. If you have configured your
router in this way, you will need to grant permission to
the Ethernet MAC address of each Sonos component
(including the Controller) before setting up your
system. Go to r more
information.
