Most definitely. What's interesting about this is that this is above and beyond what is required. The Squeezebox operating in bridge mode really doesn't need to check if there are any packets destined for itself (because 95% of the time, SlimServer will not be on the bridged side) but the fact that it does is wonderful! This opens up whole new possibilities as I touched upon in the wiki now. With a NAS or quiet server in wired range of your Squeezebox and your router connected wirelessly, you get it all: - very fast, reliable wired bandwidth for music playback and SlimServer access - access to SqueezeNetwork over wireless, which should be fine as there aren't many/any high-bitrate streams - access to SlimServer from the rest of your network, both wired and wireless portions - the NAS/server will also have Internet access About the only drawback to this arrangement is if you have another Squeezebox on the wireless portion because it'll be a 2-hop arrangement - which isn't a problem for some people though. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31850 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
