None of your five wired / networked computers are in your den? If so, just hard wire the SB3 into that computer or ad a $10.00 4 port hub if needed. I can understand your concerns about WiFi security, but some basic WiFi router security will suffice. - router MAC filtering - router WPA encryption - router SSID broadcast turned OFF - router Firewall ON - change router SSID & admin password - turn off WiFi when not listening to music (for the really paranoid) Nothing is 100% "secure" and bulletproof, but the above basic router security features make your network safer than your front door. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42132 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
