Re: [slim] Wireless Question
Depending upon whether your ethernet card has the capability to detect that you are directly connecting and switch to crossover mode. I am sure there is a more precise technical description, but I believe that is the gist of it. Although if you already have a router, I'm not sure why you would elect not to use it -- jeffmeh jeffmeh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3986 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34185 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Wireless Question
Have a look at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkDesign Given the bits you have, there is a simple network design waiting for you: - WAP connected to router, gives you a w-fi extension to your network - MAC connects wirelessly via WAP to network - SB connects to network by wire connected to router (if this is your preference: its logically the same as connecting wirelessly via the WAP to the network) - PC also connects directly to router Why make it any harder?

Re: [slim] Wireless Question
No, that's fine. I just wanted to make sure that it would work from the router. Now that I think about it; why wouldn't it. The Mac is only a few feet from the wap and router, and the ethernet would run two floors down to the sb3. Should be fine. Thanks all -- thesil Gerry.

[slim] Wireless Question
This may be confusing, but here goes: I am currently running my sb3 on my Apple MAC wirelessly, using iTunes. My question is this. I would like to run a cat 5 to use my sb3 in a wired mode. I use a lynksys router and a WAP. If I run the cable from the router, will that work, considering the fact that the MAC sends its air port signal to the WAP? I have a PC hooked up to the router , but I do not use it for SS or SB3. Any help would be appreciated -- thesil Gerry.

Re: [slim] Wireless Question
ok thanks. I just thought of something. I probably could go right from my MAC direct to the SB3. Yes? Yes, but you may need a cross-over cable depending. Kevin -- Kevin O.
