You need ethernet cable to connect anything to a router. But crossover ethernet cable to wire things directly. Some devices (like my Buffalo Linkstation) has a switch that allows you to use either cable. Some routers have autoswitching to make sure you don't use the wrong cable (like my Linksys). As the Qnap to SB3 is device to device you need crossover not standard ethernet cable which I think is what the instructions say. When I connected my SB3 to the Qnap the other day I certainly used crossover which a) worked and b)didn't break anything. I don't really like hard drives in my front room from a noise perspective. I am always slightly aware of my Sky+ and its constant disk access. I am using Devolo power plugs which allow you to say put the Qnap in the loft and the SB3 in the front room. Although as yet this is via a router. I don't see why they shouldn't work directly. On a different note, and for Paul, any thoughts on my WMA Lossless stuff yet please? -- Trumper1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Trumper1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4490 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20233 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
