If you've got a wired LAN, I guess you already have some kind of router

Have you get your D-Link DI-713P router working fine with SB2 and
Live365 ?
Any other issues with the router (and SB2) ?
Reason I'm asking is that I have the same router and would prefer to
stick with it (for a while). Expecting my SB2 to arrive soon.

If this is a standard HTTP stream, then you should be able to encode
in the URL in the playlist:
http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/path.mp3
Note: This places your user/password information in the clear in the
playlist.

If you've got it available, use WPA instead. WEP is quite insecure in

If a router is cheaper (as they often are, especially with rebates etc),
buy that and just don't use the WAN port. I have done that several times
