we're getting closer! i went through this with the standard "get info" menu in the finder, permissions looked correct, but in comparing the settings for the slim and MSR files, i noticed that the slim file type was listed as an executable, while the MSR showed as a text file (even though i'd changed the extension, or so i thought). in the get info screen, there's a check box to "keep file extension hidden" and this box was checked for the MSR text file. unchecking it revealed the file was actually named MSR.conf.text. i deleted the .text extension, confirmed i really wanted to change the extension to .conf, reloaded on server, é voila! there it was. now...have not yet been able to get it to work, ie, send commands to the G61, but i need to spend some more time with it i suppose. all i really want to do is control volume on the G61 from the squeezepad/iPeng apps, and perhaps power up/power down... -- netchord -- 4 TB Drobo-->FW 800-->mac mini-->Ethernet Transporter--> Wireworld Eclipse 6 coax-->Meridian G61 G61--> Nordost Red Dawn-->Primare 30.3 Primare-->Ocos--Vienna Acoustics Beethoven/Maestro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94051
