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.

Squeezebox can’t connect to my computer running SlimServer.
This could be due to a firewall being active on the computer.

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’

6. For ‘Description:’, type ‘SlimServer’
7. Click OK, and ensure that your new exception is checked on
