Hi all, This is my first post here. I've had an SB2 for a while now and am quite pleased with it. It's currently being used in the wireless mode. I'm a pretty hardcore audiophile, so I'd like to use it in the wired mode, as even the very rare glitches I've had are enough to give me audiophile nervosa :-).
I live in an apartment and don't have in-wall ethernet wiring, and running a cable between rooms isn't feasible. So I've decided to build a quiet PC music server and put it in my listening room. I want a wired connection from the new music server to the SB2. here's my setup. Spare bedroom Cable internet connection Wireless router Main computer (currently running SlimServer, but it will be uninstalled and running instead on the new quiet PC in the living room). Has wired connection to router Living room (listening room) Wireless SB2 Laptop with wireless acting as remote New quiet music server running SlimServer will go here. Here's what I want to do. I'd like to still be able to get internet radio in the listening room. This must be done wirelessly, since my cabled internet connection is in the spare bedroom. Also, I want to rip CDs on the machine in the spare bedroom and transfer files wirelessly from that machine to the new quiet server in my audio rack/shelf. My proposed solution is to set up the SB2 as a wireless bridge. Using a crossover cable, connect its ethernet jack to the ethernet jack on the new quiet server in the listening room. Here are two questions: 1) Will the SB2 "see" the SlimServer running on the quiet PC connected to the ethernet port of the SB2? 2) Will my laptop with wireless be able to "see" the SlimServer running on the quiet PC connected to the ethernet port of the SB2?
