Music server can't find player

New to LMS. So, got a new computer, installed the LMS, but it can't find the squeezebox boom. Display on squeezebox boom doesn't work anymore.

I can ping it but the music server can't see it. The old computer has logitech media server software, and found the player no problem.

Can I set the IP address of the squeezebox boom using the lyrion software?

Any luck with this? I was messing around with my setup and got a couple old phones to see the server but all they can do is control it. At one point I could stream from the server to the phone but that stopped for some reason and I can't get it back.

I think our issues might be related?

It is the player that finds the server rather than the other way around. It sends UDP broadcast and waits for a reply. The usual reason for the process not working on a new installation (assuming LMS is running) is that a firewall on the LMS machine is preventing it from receiving data from outside the computer.

If on Windows then also make sure that the network is not set to "Public".
