Yea Sonos solution is to use it's own proprietary network, thus freeing themself from user errors in network setup, left "only" with the figth against nature and other radio sources . Reading this forum makes you wonder , same people always get "network problems" and new server versions always breaks their install ? I'll bet that an upgrade whose only diff where the version numbers would also break their installs, some peoples computer environment seems very fragile like a house of cards ? -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
