This works! However, I believe setting up the Duet this way is a little complicated. The SB Classic should work without a hitch this way. See http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/NetworkDesign , the section on bridging, and note: "Installing SqueezeCenter on the bridged device may at first seem a little circuitous and convoluted but Slim Devices' CEO and chief Squeezebox designer Sean Adams confirmed it should work well here. The Squeezebox is not merely a simple wireless bridge, it recognizes traffic destined for itself originating on the wired side and will process them. This is an interesting option: the Squeezebox can take advantage of the vast, reliable bandwidth between it and SqueezeCenter offered by the wired ethernet link, yet still have wireless remote access to SqueezeNetwork and the rest of your network." > Offcourse one would loose the advantage of web interface. Has anyone > tried this? As the above section states, you would not lose the connection to the rest of the network (and the Internet), it should be bridged through the Squeezebox. I've never tried this, but the Squeezebox designer Sean Adams says it will work, and I believe a few people on the forum have a setup like this. Try your two-hop wireless setup first - it works for some people and it may work for you, especially since your router is only in the next room. Bridging is a little more complicated, investigate it if you get problems. -- Mark Lanctot Current: SB2, Transporter, Boom (PQP3 - late beta) Stored: Boom (PQP1 - early beta), SBC (beta - no battery) Sold: SB3, Duet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54591 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
