The SB is okay. I've been using it for a year or two (can't remember when I got it). But yes, I specifically checked and it's working fine directly on the LAN.
I'm using a regular CAT5 cable that has worked for other connections with no problem. It goes straight into the WAN port on a Linksys WRTSL54GS router (that also has a USB port for attached storage). The instructions didn't specify to use a crossover cable at all. I'm almost positive I took this cable from a working setup, but just to be sure I'll change it out. It's one router. Here's a quick diagram: INTERNAL LAN (172.16.7.xxx) (includes server at 172.16.7.2) | \/ ROUTER (172.16.7.101 on LAN interface, 10.0.0.101 on WAN interface) | \/ SB (10.0.0.201 connected ONLY to WAN interface) The firewall rules in the router specify that incoming on the WAN destined for 172.16.7.2 will be forwarded to that server on the LAN side. For now I'm specifying ANYTHING with a destination of 172.16.7.2 be forwarded. When I finish and put it in place, I'll limit it to ports 9000 and 3483 for the SB, port 53 for DNS, and port 8000 for Icecast2. (I'm assuming when a SB gets a stream from Internet radio or any other service, it comes in through Squeezecenter first, so the SB itself doesn't need Internet access, if it does, I can forward other traffic to my external firewall.) I'll have to dig for a known good CAT5 cable and if that makes a difference, I'll report it.
