Thanks for the kind words. So if I understand you correctly (and it's very possible that I don't), you want your dedicated Win7 server to be connected directly to the Touch via ethernet, _and_ you also want that server connected to the rest of your network so that you can manage it via remote desktop and do other things with it. Assuming that the server's connection to the network is also wired, that means you're looking at a server with at least two network cards. Is that correct? And that one of the network cards will be configured to be a part of your home network, and the other will be configured to be part of a "special" network consisting of only the server and the Touch.
I am reasonably sure it is possible to set things up that way, but I am much more certain that I couldn't walk someone through the process without actually sitting at the computer. I get crosseyed even thinking about configuring two network adapters, and most of my experience with it has been trial and error. Maybe someone else will be able to help. Good luck. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89674 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
