Hi All,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question... my networking knowledge is
limited, to say the least. 

I have a Duet and a Qnap 109II singing (figuratively and literally)
happily along, connected to a Thomson Speedtouch 585 wireless gateway.
(PS: huge thanks to flipflip for all the work on SSOTS. With QPKG,
install was easy enough for me.)

I'm moving to Scotland soon (from Canada) (for love, to answer your
next question). I know we'll have a wireless network where I'll be
living, but my concern is that the Duet won't work as well as it does
now. So my crazy idea is to bring the gateway with me and have it
running just for the Duet/NAS, but without connecting the whole rig to
the internet. 

Obviously, I won't get internet radio and updates will involve moving
files from my laptop. I'm also not sure how (if) I could connect my
laptop to two networks simultaneously (internet on one; SqueezeCenter
on the other), but losing the convenience of always-on PC SqueezeCenter
isn't a deal breaker.

So, can this work? Do any of the puzzle pieces require a live
connection to the internet? If the Duet doesn't work nicely with the
existing wireless, would it be simpler to just try and make the
Speedtouch the main gateway? 

Thanks in advance for reading this far and any help you can offer. (And
job offers for an experienced carpenter in Edinburgh would be welcome as
well.)

Nigel
