my sonos connect keeps trying to get a dhcp address… i have like 15 sonos devices in the house, but this one keeps polling my dhcp server about every 5 minutes … it seems it has lost the ip address as when it is doing this I can’t ping it. It gets the IP address as eventually I can ping it, and then it appears to lose it again.
I just setup a reservation for it and it got the ip address I rerserved for it, and then back to losing the ip and going back to discovery again. While it does this it outputs an annoying pop sound to the amp it is plugged into.
I am looking at it with wireshark, and I can see the discover coming from address 0.0.0.0 which means yeah it has lost its address and trying to get it again.
I was on a chat session with a sonos tech and they had just told me the diag I sent them was indicating it was having trouble getting an ip address and then the session dropped. Haven’t found a time slot to restart it, just wondered if this rings any bells with anyone? I would like to get it to work again, but its out of warranty, so if not, I am going to remove it as I thought perhaps I would play music to the whole house or somethiong from my office, but I never do, so sort of a waste.
