A hub (or more likely, you'd be installing a switch) doesn't do routing, so the Squeezebox would be still be on the same subnet, just as if you'd plugged it into the router itself. (If the router has multiple ethernet ports, that in itself is a switch.) Whether the server has a static IP address or one assigned via DHCP also makes no difference.
What determines whether or not any of the PCs or devices on the LAN behind the router are visible to the public Internet is the configuration of your router. Most home routers act as simple firewalls by permitting all outgoing connections, but denying any incoming connections. You generally have to go out of your way to open them up for incoming traffic. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54008 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
