yeah...  i made a mistake...

apparently when u add a SB to SN you're supposed to follow these steps,
and i would guess in so doing, thats when it calls home:

> Step 1: Connect your Squeezebox to SqueezeNetwork. 
> If you are connected to SlimServer, browse to Squeezebox Home ->
> SqueezeNetwork to connect. The first time you connect, your Squeezebox
> will prompt you to choose a language and timezone. 
> 
> Step 2: Get your PIN. 
> Your Player Identification Number identifies your Squeezebox to the
> SqueezeNetwork. When your player first connects to the SqueezeNetwork,
> you will be provided with a PIN. If you don't remember this PIN, with
> your remote go to Settings -> Squeezebox PIN to display a new PIN. 
> 
> Step 3: Enter your PIN below.Your Player Identification Number
> identifies your Squeezebox to the SqueezeNetwork. When your player
> first connects to the SqueezeNetwork, you will be provided with a PIN.
> If you don't remember this PIN, with your remote go to Settings ->
> Squeezebox PIN to display a new PIN.

i just don't remember doing any of that...  fact is, i'm losing my mind
b/c i don't know how i got my pin...  i know i skipped teh first step
via teh SB b/c i did that at the SN website b4 i did the rest, but i
don't recall what i did after that.  i know its probably not the case
that my SB just offered up my pin, but thats the only part i remember
next, my pin was there on teh SB display (which i do recall surprised
me) and i entered it into the website.

i wish i had a second one to do it all over again with.

my next concern is does it from now on only update my IP when i connect
to SN?  or does it update it as my IP changes?  (meaning, will SN always
know my IP as long as SB is connected to SN?  or does it only know it at
the time when initially connecting?)

it would be nice is it could act as a defacto ddns service.  (if i'm
using the right acronym)

as to the info...  i am a believer that as much info can be
automatically fedback as possible is good.  sure, make it anonymous, or
voluntary, or whatever...  but just knowing how people use the SBs is
useful.  how many use it for SN?  SS?  with the net?  with no net? 
what version of teh software?  etc...  if no one used it on the net, or
say, only with SN...  (or whatever percentages) this lets them know
where and how its being used, and not being used.  

i would like the SN website to be a gateway to my slimserver.  if it
tracks my IP dynamically, it would be easy to do this, and even assign
it a sub-domain, eg:  MrSinatra.squeezenetwork.com

finally, obviously people will care if SS calls home if the SB isn't
always calling home.  i just thought it did, b/c i apparently forgot a
step.
