An interesting question no one's answered yet. Now I haven't actually done this so I have no practical experience with it, but I'll take a crack at it:

It's kind of a "chicken-or-egg" question - the SlimServer is connected through the network through the very device it's acting as a server to. However, provided the bridging function and the Squeezebox function operate independently in the SB2 (I believe they do) this should work. To your wireless router, the SlimServer PC looks like an independent client with its own IP. The SB2 looks like another independent client with its own IP as well. When one goes looking for the other, it should be able to find it. The only fly in the ointment here is MAC addresses. Since I will be using bridging for a second SB setup, I'm reading up on it. There are indications that both the SB and the bridged, connected PC may show the same MAC address to the router. This may confuse certain routers and break the functionality. > > 2) Will my laptop with wireless be able to "see" the SlimServer running > on the quiet PC connected to the ethernet port of the SB2? It should, for the same reason as above. The SlimServer PC exists as a network client on the LAN with its own IP address. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19612 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
