Why? Ideally, 802.11b should work, but in practice it's borderline for most tasks these days. > When I use the SBR is when I am in my office.

To re-use it and keep it out of a landfill, use the wired ports as a network switch and turn the wireless module off... Presumably your office computer has a wired network interface in addition to wireless. You can then wire your SBR off this and select bridging or Internet Connection Sharing to bridge the SBR to the computer's wireless interface. > trying not to go buy more network rubble. 802.11b routers are "network rubble" these days. Use the wired ports as network switches though. And 802.11g routers are very cheap right now, but if you bridge your wireless-wired interfaces, you shouldn't need to get one. -- 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=58659 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
