If you want to do this I'd put the sheeva next to the router (and wired to the routher) and use homeplugs between the router and the touch. That's like hardwiring the touch to the routher. This won't require running long cable. The main advantage of this is that if the sheeva is connected to the router everything connected to the router can see the sheeva. Think for example android/iphone apps that control squeezebox. These won't really if the sheeva is just wired to the touch directly. You would also be able to rip music on your regular pc and copy it over to the sheeva via the network this way. This also means the touch can see the internet to get updates, play internet music etc. -- lrossouw Louis 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/lrossouw) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lrossouw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3416 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=81245 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
