I guess I called it the wrong name, I do have the NVidea ethernet with my desktop. I'm talking about the small thing that looks like a flash drive that makes your PC wireless (plug into the USB port). Sorry. My Squeezebox should arrive Wednesday - I just checked the delivery status. Darn, I won't be ready to use it yet. Maybe I will just go with the wireless router and hope it's easy to set up. I will also need the "flash-drive type thing that makes me wireless" right? -- NuttyBlonde ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NuttyBlonde's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34480 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71765 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
