Exactly, it will even work without the router with static ip in the clients in some cases, example my server and boom is connected via the same switch in my network so even if the router goes down it will still function (for local files). DHCP leases can go wrong i run my system static since the sb3, when I noticed how much faster it picked up the network etc. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE for the rear ch.
