I think I do. Rather than let the router hand out the ip based on mac address, you think it would be better give everything a fixed address outside the normal range so that nothing else can take it's slot. > Right, but if you're smart you'll pull the components off of your > network and hook it up like that for testing, before moving it all into > the car. Good idea. 4TB?? That's a lot of MP3s. I haven't done a car PC installation, but the server doesn't have to sit in the dashboard. My collection is in flac. That's why I want to go with the touch. The Cd changer is in the trunk. I was thinking of switching that out for the server. If my head unit would play flacs from hard drives, I wouldn't be thinking about this. I considered a mobridge product with an ipod that would let my head unit control the music. However, I don't think I can get everything to fit on an ipod unless I tried to hack it to run off a larger hard drvie. Other thoughts were to buy a used phatbox and hack it to accept a larger hard drive. The touch seems ideally suited, except for the challenge of finding a good place to mount it. -- jbraveman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jbraveman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16943 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80255 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
