That way the worst the enemy can do - even if they manage to crack WPA2 - is snoop on your music or wake you up in the middle of the night with the latest Rage Against the Machine. Personally, I'd add the option to connect laptops through openvpn or something similar. WPA2 with a decent size key is uncracked. Thats almost exactly how we have our home network constructed. IpCop does all the firewalling and routing, and keeps our (Blue) wireless subnet securely separate from everythings else in (Green) home lan. Wireless SB can connect to SC thru a pinhole, or via OpenVPN to SC at distant location. Its just a tad more complicated than using ethernet SB directly in Green subnet. -- bluegroper bluegroper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4554 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54473 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Can I combine a Duet with SB3 ?
Hi forum I have a Duet (SB Receiver and SB Controller). Mostly works great. SBR is connected using ethernet wire, so is bridged to SBC. Can I add an SB3 to this add-hoc wireless setup ? (How does it find the bridge ?) Or do I have to also connect the SB3 with ethernet wire ? Single SBC must be able to control both SBR and SB3. TIA's for any clues.

Re: [slim] Setup IP or FQDN ?
I've tried the alternatives, and decided that a connection from SB (at home) to a remote SS/SC (at work) is my preferred option. Since a VPN connection (OpenVPN, or Ipsec) can easily overcome the vagaries of dynamic ip addresses at both ends, it gives a good as permanent connection from SB to SS/SC. Seems a heavy-duty solution to a simple problem. The better (and light-weight) solution would be the ability to enter FQDN address into SB. nuf sed -- bluegroper bluegroper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4554 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49350 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Setup IP or FQDN ?
The more I think about the SB fixation with quad.dotted.ip.addresses, the more it surprises me. Lotsa home setups use a dhcp server in their modem/router, and every host on the home lan gets a dynamic ip allocated by that dhcp server. So why can't an SB find the SS or SC by hostname (which is usually fixed), rather than ip address (which is often dynamic).

Re: [slim] Setup IP or FQDN ?
Yes, my SB3 is presently at home. When not streaming music (from server also at home), I like to turn off my server. Its quieter that way, and I can sleep better. But I also like use the Weather Plugin on SB3 (dimmed), even when home server is off. Or listen to a radio stream, or use the SB3 alarm, ... When not listening to locally served music, I'd like to connect to a different SC at work, where I have a server running 24/7. IP address at work is dynamic, but also uses a dyn-dns service. (Actually, we use no-ip.com, but they all work much the same way.) So, how to do ?
