squeezebox 3

L.S.,

SB3 can not connect to squeezeserver (using win7) after upgrading to Avast 6.

Think i go back to version 5.

gwonderen, has that fixed your problem, I am having the same issue with my Squeezebox Touch, can not connect to Squeezebox Server installed on my PC.

I am going to uninstall version 6 and try version 5 if that does not work…back to the drawing board.

Hummm, can not find version 5 anywhere, has anyone got any suggestions?
Many thanks

It’s not a good idea to downgrade… Anyway, I suggest an installation from the scratch:

  1. Uninstall avast from Control Panel first.
  2. Boot.
  3. Use Avast Uninstall for complete uninstallation.
  4. Boot.
  5. Stay off-line (not connected to Internet)
  6. Install again the old version: http://filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/
  7. Boot.
  8. Register avast (insert the registration key).
  9. Uncheck the programs updates (set to manual).
  10. Only then connect to Internet (go on-line).
  11. Check and post the results.

Yesterday I came back again searching for news on this issue. Tried to install latest avast 6 free version, but again no luck. So uninstalled and now using AVG.

Good luck… although you’ve lost the superior protection of avast and didn’t give us time to troubleshoot :slight_smile:

I also had this problem as a new Avast user with Windows. Uninstalling Avast enabled my Squeezeboxes to work again. After some googling I then reinstalled Avast and tried disabling Windows Firewall to see if that worked and it did. Further googling elicited this thread:

I followed the instruction in post #8 and now squeezeboxes, Windows Firewall and Avast are all coexisting happily.
