Let me summarize your setup (with some assumptions), to see if I understand your problem correctly: - Main XP system w/ storage, running SqueezeCenter and connected to your home network and the internet. Let's pretend this computer has an IP address of 192.168.1.100. *Is this on 24/7, or at least on whenever you want to listem to music?* - Two Squeezeboxes connected to your home network. Let's pretend these have IP addresses of 192.168.1.101 and 192.168.1.102 (which means they are on the same network segment). - You have a laptop that you would like to use to *-control-* the music you're listening to on the Squeezeboxes. It can connect to the same network as the main XP box and the Squeezeboxes. You don't want this computer to act as a server for music--just a controller. Given this information, here's how I would set up the system: Connect your Squeezeboxes to SqueezeCenter running on the main XP box (IP address 192.168.1.100). Verify they work correctly with the standard IR remote. Open a browser on your laptop and enter the following URL (exactly as shown): http://192.168.1.100:9000 This will open up the SqueezeCenter web ui, served from the main XP system, and will allow you to control both players. *Note:* You do not need to install SqueezeCenter on this system at all. If you're using SqueezeCenter 7 (rather than SlimServer 6.5.x), you won't need to switch to SqueezeNetwork any longer as SC can act as a proxy whenever you wish to access SN services. If this isn't what you wanted (in other words, I misunderstood you), let me know and I'll try to help get you back on track. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44916 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
