I'm in the same boat with my SB3 and Time Capsule. I have the SBE wired
up, but I have a setup problem that is preventing me from listening to
Internet radio.

My SB3 is in a location that makes it impossible to wire it to my
router. However, I can easily wire it to my Mac Pro. Mac Pros have
-two- internal NICs, so one is wired to the router, and the second is
wired to the SB3.

The first NIC is set for 192.168.0.x. This allows the Mac Pro to
connect to the DSL modem and router.

The second NIC setting, for the SB3, is 192.168.1.x

The problem is that, since the SB3 is wired directly to NIC 2 on the
Mac, but is not connected to the Internet-hooked NIC 1, I get
"connection timed out errors" when I try to connect to any Internet
radio station. I know this is because the 2nd NIC is providing just a
hard wired network connection from SB3 to Mac, and there is no DNS
ability.

Adding DNS server IP numbers to the network pref pane for NIC 2 makes
no difference.

Does anyone who is more Mac network-savvy than I (that's almost anyone)
have any suggestions?
