The simplist way to do this is: Connect the router DG834 to the internet, from memory that's an ADSL router so just plug the line into it's internet port. Make sure it is configured for your internet service.
Connect the homeplug, and second Mac to it's ethernet ports. Get hold of a 100Mbs ethernet switch put this in the other room and connect the homeplug, Mac, XBox and SB3 to it. If the homeplug has multiple ethernet ports then you may not need the switch as the homeplug would be performing that function. Enable DHCP on the router but the usually recommendation is to have the SqueezeCenter server Mac with a fixed address in the same address range 192.168.0.X I believe from memory but not one that is assigned by the DHCP server. This is the simplist configuration which should allow everything to work with each other and access the Internet. If you don't need wireless turn it off on the router. This may be the configuration that you have but the diagram and description dissagree with each other. The diagram suggest the SB3 would need to go via the homeplugs, router, Mac Mini to get to the internet. If this is the case then this configuration may cause complications. I've never used a Mac but given that it is a form of Unix it should support a remote terminal connection of some kind eg SSH. In which case you should be able to connect to it and run a remote terminal. From there you could check connectivity such as a ping etc. -- Zaragon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zaragon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14577 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46440 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
