Not always, there can some incopatibilities I think. It generaly works but there can be router or sb bugs. But there can be other factors, you can put it like " all home networks does not have reliable dhcp". then you include what is most common ,setup faults the network has more than one dhcp for example. poeple have maze of routers where some are used purely as ap ( they think ) . Or not realizing that the " modem " from the isp also is a router, they now have 2 routers in series ( the isp thing should be bridged acount setup in the router ). I rid myself of the possibility of router induced problems on my local net all my " home " stuff has static ip ( not dhcp reservation ) and all ethernet stuff is interconected trough switches, where the router is just conected to one of the switches , so a router problem does not kill my network 3 of 4 squeezeboxes still see the server etc, internet and wifi will be gone but not my local net. This migth be overkill, but from a squeezebox perspective at least the server should be on a static ip so it does not go away easilly ( once setup you will not depend on a working server discovery , mine was broken for 2 years due a bug in my server firewall, set up was a head scrather but when it was done it worked stable anyeay. ) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
