It's not necessary, but since the Touch does have some things that you may at some point want to 'connect' to, it's not a bad idea. For instance, it has a built in SSH server that can be enabled to let you connect and browse or edit files. On my network the Touch and Radio have fixed addresses, while any SB1, SB2, SB3, Boom or Transporter do not. > 2.

The web interface is independent of the Controller, and each could control different players, or the same one. > 5. The touch will be played in the kitchen distant from the server.

If the distance from the Touch to your wireless access point makes connecting or streaming to the Touch difficult, then there's nothing you can do to the server to fix that. That would be a wireless networking issue. But don't worry about that now, not unless it becomes a real problem. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90332 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
