I really appreciate that response. I just did get a Squeezebox and tried to use the bridging with an old PS/2 and could not get it to work. Went and bought the crossover cable and still couldn't get it to work. I think what you describe above is probably why. Kind of a bummer, I had hoped it was easier :( -- thing-fish [image: http://imagegen.last.fm/3line/recenttracks/thing-fish.gif] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thing-fish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31803 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
