I think I've tried just about everything you've pointed out. My Linux
server does have a static IP as does my wireless router. Masks are all
set to 255.255.255.0. I fairly certain that the biggest hurdle was to
use DHCP as that way, the controller and the receiver picked up a
proper DNS configuration. When I tried to manually assign addresses to
the controller and the receiver, it makes the assumption that your DNS
is going to be somewhere in the same subnet, which for me it is not.

I am able to ping everything on the network. I did log into the
controller both from my laptop and from the server using ssh. It can
ping back to the server from the controller. So I'm fairly certain that
everyone is talking nicely from a TCP standpoint. I've got my wireless
router (Belkin) set as just a plain access point without anything
special set. My intent is for it to be totally transparent to the
network. So now you've got me wondering if it is somehow blocking the
broadcast from squeezecenter. I've got a Linksys sitting around so I
may trying putting that in and see what I get.

While I'll admit that I'm not a "Certified Network Engineer", I have
been working with network setups for well over 20 years. I would hope
for the sake of the Duet, that Logitech can make this somewhat easier
to setup. I just can't imagine that the typical home user can think of
this as a plug and play device. I would expect a lot of returns in the
first 30 days.
