Hi again, and thansks for the reply 😆

I’m trying to follow the links though they are for a PC and I’m on a mac. I can change the IP address on my system through System Preferences – network -. I then change the Systems IP address to match the IP address on the soundbridge. The I use the Terminal to try to contact the Soundbridge using it’s IP address begining 169.254.x.x. but Terminal reports thus:

Welcome to Darwin!
Macintosh:~ Michaels$ telnet 169.254.14.107
Trying 169.254.14.107…
telnet: connect to address 169.254.14.107: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
Macintosh:~ Michaels$

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong 😥 As I can’t contact the soundbridge I can’t change it’s IP address. Why can I not telnet to the Soundbridge?

And why is this so complicated?

thanks in advance
