Yes, that is it. When you connect your Touch with the 7.7.2 firmware up to the computer with the 7.7.1 server it should downgrade the firmware to a 7.7.1 version. If it does not do so, you CAN manually load the 7.7.1 firmware, but lets not get into that until it's necessary. You SHOULD be able to use wireless, but in a situation like yours when you seem to have multiple issues happening at once its best to limit the possible variables while you are trying to track things down. So I still recommend that just for the purposses of these tests that you hardwire the Touch to the network. You might have to move it to another room and plug headphones into the back, or run a long patch cord down the hall. (I keep a 100ft patch cord in my closet just for these sorts of situations) So the first step is to get things working the way you want it to work with everything on the same computer and everything wired. Once that works we can go back to a wireless connection, and if that still works then go to a NAS. With the NAS there are two ways to do it: LMS on the laptop and files on the NAS with the disk "mounted" over the network on the laptop, OR, install LMS on the NAS itself. A NAS is just a small computer (usually running linux) so they frequently can run the server as well.
