How about Windows 98SE? I'm selling my SB3 (no, not leaving Slim, getting a Transporter!) but the guy who's most interested is running 98SE. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27360 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Running SlimServer on Win95 can be done, however it might be worth looking into other options.

not sure how easy it is to get linux running on an old laptop, but may be worth a try. -- lrossouw lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27360 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Can my PC and SB3 access my networked music library remotely?
lrossouw, I don't think I can run Slim on Win95. (I tried, unsuccessfully, though maybe not correctly.) I'd thought about installing XP but I don't think my P90 laptop can handle it (not to mention the 700MB HDD). I hadn't thought about a non-WIN OS since I don't know anything about them, but I'm game for that if it will work since I no longer use the P90 laptop. I don't want to mis-direct my own thread (unless the answer to my original question is "no"), so I'll search the forums over the next few days for info on this. Thanks for suggesting another alternative. -- jz1 jz1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2951 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27360 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

why not run slimserver on the extra (win95?) laptop at the location your library is? not sure if slimserver runs on 95 but you can install another operating system on the laptop? -- lrossouw lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27360 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Ross,
Thanks for your reply. The shuttle looks enticing ("the absolute
divinity of elegance" as shuttle's website says) and I may go this
route ultimately, especially considering that I probably will find more
uses for a dedicated server on my home LAN (LAN #1) once I have one.
For the time being, though, can I infer from your reply that if I take
my laptop ("server") with me wherever I go, it is not currently
possible to use my laptop as a SlimServer at another location to stream
or access my music from LAN #1, even if I have a SB at the remote
location (LAN #2)? I've described these two locations as "LANs" for
simplicity, but really they are both residences and I currently only
have one computer (aside from a WIN95 laptop and a Nokia 770), that I
always have with me, and was hoping to avoid duplicating my music
library at LAN #2 in the interim between now and buying a dedicated LAN
#1 server.

[slim] Re: Can my PC and SB3 access my networked music library remotely?
I'd suggest just running SlimServer on Lan #1, rather than just storing your music there and running SlimServer on a laptop which isn't always a member of Lan #1. Then you could just allow remote access, and setup a port forward on your router (you can call me at support and I can walk you through this). It's actually quite simple. However it does require SlimServer to be running on a machine that will permenantly reside on lan #1 (actually anywhere, just needs to be permenant). In other words, have a computer (or anything that can run SlimServer and store your music) and have it set to a static IP on your LAN (or static DHCP). Then configure your router for port forwarding. Then simply point your software player to stream from http://:9000/stream.mp3 Completely up to you on what you want to put together for a cheap/small/quiet computer. I'd suggest a shuttle, but I'm biased ;) -- Ross L Ross Levine - Slim Devices Technical Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] - +1.650.210.9400 ext. 3 Ross L's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27360 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
