The setup is the main thing... in your case what happens if you change your network configuration? Do you buy another controller so you can change the settings on your reciever and then sell that controller on Ebay as well? This does not sound like a very practical appraoach! Having struggled with simple tasks like setting up a static IP address in the SBR I have to agree they belong in the dumpster. Maybe with the new hardware coming out Logitech will replace the Duet with a good bundled price for a Squeezebox Touch + Controller. Might be overkill for those who don't need the display on the music player but it would make all these setup problems go away once and for all and therefore be a worthwhile tradeoff. of course Logitech could simply provide a section in the Controller to manually edit settings in an SBR but if they haven't done it by now I suspect they never will... or maybe there is a hardware flaw in the SBR so they can't. Either way, it is time to end the SBR and replace it with something that can take standard network configuration settings. -- upstatemike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ upstatemike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66878 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
