For both Howard and Jimzak, let me guess that both of you are using Windows? Between Windows and the fact that the Squeezebox IS a Network Media Player (the keyword being Network) a bunch of things can already be wrong before one starts out to setup a Duet. As Pat said, I had mine up and running in 10 minutes and I was sitting on the couch taking my time. I have had no real problems with it whatsoever. When I set Duets up for friends the average time after installing SC to get it up and running is about 6 minutes. Most of these friends know next to nothing about PCs much less Networks. I do not get phone calls from them about having problems. Maybe it is because they do not fiddle around with their PCs or have extra apps runnning all the time. Main issues that I run into are Windows, Active Anti-virus (waste of time and PC CPU resourses), and Firewalls. If one is having major problems my suggestion is build a server for SC or drag an old PC out and only use it for SC. Is a stand alone server required? No it is not. Would most people be better off running it on a server? I think they would. Is the Squeezebox of everybody, not yet as long as the world keeps being contaminated by MicroSoft and folks don't have a home network. -- iPhone *iPhone* 'Last.FM' (http://www.last.fm/user/mephone) Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, Vandersteen Quatro, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Bedroom: SB3, NAD C370, Thiel 2.3 Home Office: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, VSM-1 Sigs Mobile: SB3, Audioengine A5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48750 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
