Re: [slim] NetBook (e.g. Acer Aspire One) as server for SqueezeCentre

2008-10-04 Thread terry_gardener

as long as the netbook meets the minimum specs for the squeezecenter
software it should be fine, as since your music is flac the software
shouldn't have to encode the music first. 

if you get a qnap you can actually install slimserver or squeezecentre
on it so you dont even need a pc running to play music, but i have
found the web interface is slower than using pc/laptop as server for
the software. 

cheapest option might be to get a usb HDD for the music and plug it
into the netbook.

[slim] squeezebox duet controller

2008-03-13 Thread terry_gardener

i have just seen a couple of reviews of the duet and it seems really
good but just have a couple of questions. 

1. how does the controller connect to the receiver and/or
squeezecentre.

2. can the squeezecentre 7.0 be installed on the qnap ts101. 

3. is the only difference between the duet and squeezebox 2 the
controller. 

4. I dont have the wifi turned on because it doesn't reach very far.
can this still work by ethernet including the controller. 

thanks

Re: [slim] squeezebox duet controller

2008-03-13 Thread terry_gardener

if you can adhoc wifi connect the controller with the receiver and
connect the receiver via ethernet that would be ok. 

if the above cannot be done what is the range on the controller
becaused my sb2 doesn't connect properly using wireless due to the
range

[slim] networking

2007-06-02 Thread terry_gardener

please can someone help with this. 

i currently have my main router downstairs as it needs to be connected
to the master socket for the broadband connection. i have connected to
an old vonage linksys router (temp solution), so at the moment config
is router - ethernet - 2nd router - ethernet to devices.  

besically what i would like to do is setup the network in this way. 

Router (connected to internet) - straight thru ethernet - switch/hub -
straight thru ethernet to p.c's and xbox360 and sb2 and qnap ts101. 

is this possible or do i need cross over cable. 

Router is the sky router (netgear) and the switch i was thinking of
getting is netgear gs605. 

i was wanting to do it this way is because i want to use dchp server on
the main router so i can reserve ip addresses also switch i was thinking
of getting is gigabit switch.
