I think you are over-simplifying here. It's not that unlikely that someone starts networking precisely because they have decided on a Squeezebox. I know that's the only rason I have a network (though subsequently I have found other uses for it). So I had to go through the issues of creating a network at the same time as setting up the SB. Fortunately it turned out very easy, except for issues such as microwave interference. -- danco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31324 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
