That's correct, this is wired to the server, so it is ideal in terms of the connectivity between the server and the SB. > Do the packets between server and SB go out over the wireless and back > because the SB is too stupid to realize this is not necessary? If > that's the case, would it be possible to fix this in the firmware? No, the bridge is smart and send packets to the right place. That is, by definition, what bridges do. If it didn't send them to the right place, it would get stuck in a loop because the packets would just come right back and it wouldn't know what to do with them any better than it did the first time around! > Also, does choosing "Connect to an ethernet network" make any difference > since the SlimServer is at the other end of the ethernet? And does > wireless bridging then work at all? If you choose "Connect to Ethernet" then you will bypass all the wireless settings, so no bridging is possible and it won't be offered. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33922 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
