Hi.
Yep. That's known fact.
You should "reserve" a fixed IP address for the Touch on your router.
Modern style routers let you do this easily in the network setup.
Otherwise you got to look that IP adress up everytime you reboot the Touch.
I wouldn't recomend working with static IPs, which is much less flexible
then working with reserved IPs in a DHCP environment.
Cheers
To remedy this, best practices indicate that the IP address be reserved based on a device's MAC address. In the case of the Touch, this can be found on the sticker on the bottom of the device. When this is done, every time your device reboots and/or your router, your Touch will always be at the same IP address.
This exercise is performed differently on every router, so please consult your owner's manual for further guidance. Alternatively, Logitech has setup instructions for a number of routers on their Support site.
For Netgear routers go here
For D-LINK routers go here
For 2WIRE routers go here
Klaus,
One suggested correction to the written instructions.
In the 1.2.7. Linux/OSX (commandline) section, one line (in bold below) needs to include one correction.
4. Unpack the archive:
ssh root@Your-Touch-IP-Address:
Password: 1234
cd /
tar xf touchtoolbox2.0.tar
(not <tar xvf touchtoolbox2.0.tar> as you currently have it listed)
I seem to be having problems trying to set the buffer size.
here is the output from the log:
<result success="true" />
</call>
<call>
<command value="ttbuffer 4000" />
<destination value="/" />
<output value="4000

ttout -d, and tt --wlan were all successful

ttbuffer 4000, tried 3600, and some other values. result was always the same error (unmatched / )
Just verified it. It works in my case. You're the first one running into this.
You could try to restore first the original files by running
tt -d
after the reboot you could try to run the upgrade procedure again.
tar ...
ttinit...
...asf
Or you start off with a factory reset and do the installation again,
just to make sure that not some other stuff got shuffled.
Cheers
2.0 Mods Very Easy to Implement
Klaus,
Just upgraded to the 2.0 mods and found the procedure very easy. I too had to change the ttbuffer to 4000 to eliminate pops. All in all, a great sound improvement. Thought I would miss the display, but was really only using it as a clock. Though not a significant issue, I was just wondering if anyone else was hearing a few clicks/pops when hitting "play" or changing between 24/96 tracks? Does not occur during 16/44 playback. Maybe an easy adjustment? Thanks for all your work.
Steve

I too hear the popping sound when first playing. Also not a big deal to me.
I am going to make a few more changes to my network and power supplies. At present I am using a big laboratory grade power supply for the touch. It has multiple voltage outlets and makes a big difference running the touch at 5V. I will be be using this 5V to power my router in the future. I will also use the 10V outlet to power the touch, with a superteddy reg with in a few centimeters of the unit. It will be a short connection of cat6 to the touch from the router, the entire network is now cat6. I did not get any audible difference changing to cat6 from cat5.

Hello
Want too tweak my Touch, but it’s impossible for me to have a wired Ethernet. Can I use solutions ala “Netgear powerline AV200”?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
