I have squeeze classic and it can be a real bitch controlling it from the computer interface. What i found works for me is giving my router a static ip range but let it handle the dhcp and give the squeeze box a static ip as well as my computer .I find this helps it from becomeing lost and hard to connect to. I have mine at work and now with the app for my android phone it is excellent ,i can listen to music off the computer or the internet. I dont have pandora so i have no idea how well that works or if at all. Hopefully you can find something that works better for you.
