RE: [slim] WRT54G and static IPs
Static IPs are possible with the Netgear you assign the first to your Netgear router say: 192.168.10.1 and then assign the computers (under the network connection properties) 192.168.10.2 (upto 254) make sure the sub net is the same say 255.255.255.0 and put the default gateway of the router in. You also need to ensure the DHCP service is turned off on the router. Not sure why you would want to do this though. I have the same Netgear and dynamic IP's served up by the router seems to work fine for me. Unless you are running web services?

RE: [slim] Remote streaming with Netgear router?
Toby, I have exactly the same setup. Are you using the router as a modem as well? Also do you know how to access the web interface? Is you PC already connected wirelessly?

Hi I've been scouring the archives as well as Google but can't seem to find what I'm looking for, which is a step by step guide for total newbies as to how to set up remote streaming from a computer attached to a Netgear router. The Slimserver software is running from a PC connected wirelessly to a Netgear DG834G router. I know I need to go into the Netgear admin page and change some settings, but as a newbie to this it's all Greek to me. I have no idea what I'm doing in there! It's simple enough to get the /stream.mp3 going, but I can't get the Slimserver software to recognise it as a player, so the "play" controls on the Slimserver page are blanked out. Would someone be so kind as to point me towards a very basic step by step guide on configuring the router so that it will work with remote streaming? Eternally grateful! thanks toby ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
RE: [slim] Need advice on housing 30K of songs
I have 40k at MP3 128-320kbs very quick on iTunes (1 hr scan). Slim server takes 1 1/2 hrs to scan. Backup solution – firewire drive that I copy to once a week and take into the office to use there. The copying of this much data will take a good few hours but this solution work quite well. Make sure you have an SATA drive or SCSI on IDE you could multiply the iTune times by a factor of 2-4. Re DVD – guess it depends if he wants the convenience of all the music easily accessible in one place or the quality and cost. If money is no object a big box with loads of scsi drives and lossless compression would be the best solution.

RE: [slim] audiophile cred
This whole thread seems to be a bit over the top to me. I have a squeezebox that I can move around my house listen to all of my music, take it in the garden for BBQ's and plug it into my stereo. The true Audiophiles are in the main still on vinyl because CD's "don't have the same warm feel". Most of us probably use the SB in the way I have described and love it for being small portable giving us access to all of our music all around the house. At the moment is there probably no better way doing this. Lets face it how many of us have copied our entire collection across as WAV files anyway. For me the convenience of being able to listen to all my tracks at a slightly reduce quality out ways the hassle of digging through piles of albums to find a record at the back that I haven't listened to for years. Could make some enemys here but the few Audiophiles that I know are still all listening to 70's prog rock that doesn't sound that great at the best of times. -Original Message- From: Triode [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 February 2005 00:09 To: Slim Devices Discussion Subject: Re: [slim] audiophile cred Michael, I would note that Sean (Slim CEO) responded to the other thread on this board yesterdat about Squeezebox test results and they praised his responsiveness.
