Yeah Simplest to do the x-over cable and if it gets too much hassle, then you could always add a switch later. You don't burn any bridges by doing this.
I CORRECT MYSELF: You can set an autoconfiguration ip-address on your network card (if you're running windows?) This means: if there's no dhcp server around, then you'll get at default IP adress that will apply when you're using the hardwired setup. And if you additionally configure the card to automatically receive IP addresses, then you will also get the IP address when there's a dhcp server around. In which way, the laptop will work at home with your squeezebox, and on the road with other networks. No reconfiguring at all. Was that clear as fog? -H -- haraldo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41461 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
