It is a design decision. The initial internet connection ensures that the product has the latest firmware. For example IIRC Touch has been manufactured about June 2009 and stock is currently in warehouse and the firmware in these Touch is very out of date - functionally enough to get updates but not good enough for a user to play music. If the user tried to use the product (with old firmware) out of the box without an update, the user would probably have many problems and be onto support / supplier ASAP. Since manufacturing & distribution have a lead time, firmware will always be out of date, so an update is always required. The choice is whether device update comes via an SBS or direct from Logitech. I believe product management decided that many users are not very technical and may not have a working SBS setup and so there would be a better user experience where the device connected at least once directly to Logictech (via mysqueezebox.com) and get updated. Subsequent updates can come from SBS. If a user has problem then support can be sure that update worked and so the "firmware not up to date" possibility can be ignored. > > I didn't tryed , but what about SB Server?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't need internet but some functionality will not work and you will get error message. I'm not sure but I think you may still need some "internet" facilities on this LAN such as a DNS server. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74486 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
