Hi, New user of Squeezebox, running latest released (6.3.1) Slimserver on a new HP laptop (dv5220us, 120gb hd, 1gb ram, lightly loaded) serving mostly .flac files over wireless. The .flac files reside on a WD 250gb network drive.
Occasional dropouts have turned me towards a wired solution. Got a Transporter on order and will not be keeping it if I can't find a dropout solution. But I'm confused on basic network setup. I know just enough about networks to hook up a wireless router using large diagrams and lots of little words. Suppose I run a wire between the router and my laptop, and another wire between the laptop and the Squeezebox. There is already a wire between the router and the WD network drive. So then everything between the network drive and the Squeezebox will be wired. I assume I'll then have to tell the Squeezebox to hook up to my wired ethernet network rather than wireless. Once that's done, how does the Squeezebox pull from the internet for (say) internet radio? Or Squeeze Network? Will it be necessary to 'switch' the Squeezebox between wired & wireless to hear .flac vs internet? Thanks!
