Yes, albeit I presume if a connected Internet facing device is
compromised it can in turn be used to attempt compromise of devices on
the .168.x network.

At present I've no use for Squeezenetwork.  At this time none of the
radio stations I'd like to listen to work correctly with Squeezenetwork
or connecting directly from the SB3.

Agreed, but I still feel better knowing my music and family video and
picture libraries aren't Internet facing.

Both PCs came with two on-board NICs.  I trust the question of two
subnets is explained above?

Agreed, however, so long as I want to keep the two subnets apart I'm
guessing there is no other way?
