have you ever used SN? i'm a newbie, but i think i merely entered a pin at the SN website to identify my SB and SN knew EXACTLY where it was, which leads me to believe the SB is always calling home, not that that bothers me. (perhaps my recollection is wrong, but i'm pretty sure that right) when logged into the website, you can click "Squeezeboxes" and it lists the box with teh IP for your cable modem. radish Wrote: > and in a typical home situation using a NAT router with more than one SB > the figure recorded by SN would be inaccurate. i don't see how nat comes into it. with just the cable modem IP it lists, it can find the SB whever it is behind my cable modem and router. radish Wrote: > So while they could get a figure, it wouldn't be a very representitive > one - and seeing as they know exactly how many SBs are out there it > would also be a pretty pointless exercise :) 1. of course they know how many they've sold. 2. if it [the hardware] does always phone home, they'd know how many have net. 3. my point in saying all that, was who cares if SS calls home or not, if the SB is hardwired to always call home anyway. thats the point i was making, not a numbers one. -- MrSinatra www.LION-Radio.org Using: Squeezebox2 w/SS 6.3 - Win XP Pro SP2 - 3.2ghz / 2gig ram ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25292 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
