A safe bet is to buy a very simple switch with ethernet only connectors, there are heaps of possibilites, D-link provides some very reasonably priced alternatives.
Just make sure there's a dhcp server in the switch, if not, you will have to set a fixed ip address in your laptop and you don't want to do that. (At least I don't) Normally, You can configure the switch so that your laptop's mac address always gets the the same ip address, allowing the config of the SB3 to connect to a fixed ip address. I'm using such a setup myself with a D-Link DI-604 switch, because I'm having issues with wireless coverage.... Our house is too large :-) This is much better than using special setup and crossed cables. In this case, simpler is not better. regards Harald N -- haraldo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41461 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
