No, the internal server is started if the user starts it. It's activated by commands from the touchscreen interface or IR remote. You can definitely start it even if there is a network connection -- otherwise it couldn't stream to other SBs, and the built-in Samba server wouldn't be any good either.
And yes, if it is connected to the internet, it can play internet radio streams. Re 'standalone', obviously if it is connected to a network it can do anything that it can when it *isn't* connected to a network (kidstypike's def'n of 'standalone'), and it can also do more. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69041 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
