I think if connected to such network, the player will offer setup with static unpluged or powered off router while setting up network. You may have to plug it in again later as the hairbrained setup guide force you to sign up to mysb.com with no obvius step to avoid that. Btw the easiest way and geekiest is to simply do the setup with dhcp and all and then ssh into the Touch's linux and edit the configuration files. My network is halfway like this My boom is goin to the server via a switch, so things can go pearshaped at the router (and it does all consumer routers crash sometimes) without my morning alarm be in danger. I will incorporate another switch soon so that my Touch can connect. to the server via switches only. Ofcourse DHCP can still be used in this setting to -If you have router and it's used- a short term problem in the router will be no problems as all clients will keep their dhcp'd settings at least untill next power on or when lease goes out . This is not rocket science either, networking via a switch or peer to peer computer directly to a Squeezebox for example, a bit unusual but not really harder to do than for example adding another mail account to Thunderbird . Squeezeboxes makes this harder than it should be and the Touch is not the main offender it is the duet with it's reciever, that one can be more problematic to get into static usually net::udap will be used when the controller menu's has bugged out. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
