My NTL cable modem has just one ethernet port (and one USB port, which I don't use). Mind you, mine is an old ntlhome:120 (Ambit) modem. I seriously doubt that more recent NTL modems have a router built-in, in which case I think you're mistaken about these "unused ethernet sockets". If you are sure there are some more ethernet ports on the modem, please let us know what model of modem you have. Assuming there aren't any extra ports, then you'll need to get a router.
(Incidentally, your posting implies that it will be feasible to use your SB3 via wired ethernet. If that is the case, don't even *think* about using it wirelessly). -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31677 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
