Maybe this was a typo, but you mention infrastructure and ad-hoc modes as if they were one and the same. The picture you show is for infrastructure mode. In fact, if you are using an AP, by definition you have an "infrastructure". Ad-hoc is peer-to-peer, as in two laptops talking with each other (sans-AP).
Your wireless PC server does not stream directly to your wireless SB - all traffic must be passed on via the AP. -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18674 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
