To enter the static IP addresses, use the UP/DOWN buttons to edit each digit, and LEFT/RIGHT to go to the next digit, then press OK to complete each entry. Zero out the beginning of each number to make it three digits - eg "10.5.35.164" would be entered as "010.005.035.164"
Testing your LAN setup
ping the player from your server
On your server, type:
ping your.players.ip.address
If your IP addresses are set up correctly, the player will respond to the pings, and display a message indicating where it received the ping from.
Installing the server
Download the latest version of the server software from http://www.slimdevices.com . The software includes installation instructions for Windows, Unix, and MacOSX.
Start the server software
To start the server, run server.pl. Unix users may wish to add the server to their startup script so it runs automatically. Windows users can find instructions in the README.INSTALL file for how to run the server as a background service.
To configure the server, type the following URL into your web browser: "http://127.0.0.1:9000". This will bring up the SliMP3 web interface. Click on the "Server settings" link. On this page, you can choose your language and set the location of your MP3 files on the hard disk. Once these settings are made, the server will spend a few minutes scanning your mp3 files and building its index.
That's it!
