You're gonna do a LOT of head banging with that actiontec router. Do you have a fixed IP? If not do have dynamic dns setup? If you don't you won't be able to stream for long. You can have FIOS installed two different ways. Coax or CAT5. They don't like doing CAT5 because it requires an extra Motorola box (M100) to convert between Coax and Cat5 so that the Cable boxes can get the guide from internet. Anyway if you can convince them to do cat5 you can put a much easier to use router in there (i.e. linksys). If you get a linksys (and many other routers) you can run this on it. http://dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/index.php which is fantastic if you want access to your home and don't want to pay for a commercial fixed IP. dyndns that works, vpn (that works with default windows vpn client), wake on lan. You can also setup linksys behind the actiontec but that's a bit more work and harder to get everything working nice. I think my router is a WRT600N but you need to check with dd-wrt for exact models and versions that work good. I can't say enough how great this has made my internet access. I can connect to home turn on computers, vpn, stream. And in 2 years the dyndns has NEVER failed. -- mswlogo XP > Cat5 > Transporter > SPDIF > Meridian G68 > DSP6000, DSP5500HC, DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian DSP5000 XP > Cat5 > SB3 > SPDIF > Meridian G91 > DSP5000 'My Transporter Setup' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=350741&postcount=45) 'Hitch Hikers Guide to Meridian' (http://www.meridianunplugged.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56391 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
