So, I think you're getting in a tangle of what's possible. 1) You can use a SB3/SBR to connect the SqueezeNetwork on the internet without requiring any local Squeezecentre/NAS. Services coming across the internet like Pandora can be used this way: Pandora->Internet->Router->(Wi-Fi)>SB3/SBR. 2) Y

I still haven't purchased the Duet or SB3 until I figure this out. Would this work... Forget about the NAS laptop altogether. Use my main laptop to control Rhapsody and Pandora sending the selections wirelessly via SqueezeCenter to the SB3 or SBR. Connect my Apple TV (using its 160gb drive as
