Actually if the Slim software is already on your server and that server is on the network with an IP of 192.168.1.17 then you access from other laptops in a browser using http://192.168.1.17:9000
On the server itself you can use localhost:9000 or 127.0.0.1:9000 It is not necessary to load the software on the laptops themselves. You can control the Squeezebox from the web interface accessed as listed above. Does that work? Each laptop can bookmark 192.168.1.17:9000 Each of you can have different playlists setup. You will see there is way to select player (you only have the one). However, using one server any laptop could control any of multiple Squeezeboxes on the network. Each could be playing the same songs as you move room to room or each can have their own streams going independently. Works great. -- darwinl ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darwinl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2603 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41035 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
