Perhaps not. When you get disconnected from the Internet, you lose Internet access, sure, but you should still maintain wireless access with your router - unless it's the one that's actually failing, as I wondered. Most wireless utilities can be told to limit "roaming" and only connect to one AP. BTW - is your SlimServer wireless? This can cause its own set of problems. -- Mark Lanctot "It's like, you know, a New Age religion, but with better treble response." - Jon Heal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33077 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
