I shouldn't have told this... don't play with it if you're not sure what you are doing. Also, many homes in the UK will have electric stoves, ovens or waterheaters that use 3-phase power. When you call the electrician for making an outlet for them, he will open the box to the three busbars and pull the wiring from it, no need to dig up the cable... The reason they do the 3-phase is that the neighborhood-transformers are 3-phase and they want to balance the load not just over the neighborhood but within each house. cheers, Nick. No I'm sorry but that isn't the case. You would be hard pushed to find a 3 phase stove, oven or anything else for the home in the UK. The incoming supply is normally single phase, I watched 2 guys rewiring my entire home 6 months ago and it's not 3 phase, even on the supply side. The local transformers probably are, but that's normally where it stays. In fact the electricians were telling me about a rich guy's home they had just wired, which had so many downlights installed that the power required was close to overloading the normal domestic supply.

I have searched the web but I can't find a definitive answer on how to mount them, especially because they need to be mounted at least 6-12 from the wall.

Most of the stands I have come across appear to just rely on gravity to keep the speakers in place. I have visions of one stray nudge of a stand or speaker sending the speaker to an early grave on my solid tiled floor.

Re: [slim] FYI be aware of Mac adress when using Wol

I have just switched over to a new PC with WoL capability. Having done a factory reset, the 2 SB3's are now functioning correctly with WoL. I think the confusing thing about it all, is that once the SB3 has detected a new network address and been told to use that as the server, you would think that the MAC address would be included. What you end up with is a perfectly functioning SB3 / server combination, playing from the server to the SB3 without a hint of a problem, but lurking inside the SB3 is an old MAC address from the previous server. So WoL just doesn't work (unless your old server has WoL and is still connected). Shame I didn't find this thread first, but there is a lot of correspondence buried in the forums.

If you are getting that IP address message then the home plugs must be working. The router has received the request for an IP address and has allocated one and replied with the new address back to the SB3. Therefore the network is working all the way from the SB3 to the router and back again. The problem lies in the server to router to SB3 path.
