It wouldn't surprise me much. I found the firmware on my SMC2804WBRP-G to be quite poor. I could not connect my SB2, and after playing around with 10 firmware versions of the 20 (!) out there for this model, I decided to ditch it. Some of these firmware versions were known to disable

Some firewalls, especially new releases of firewalls, seem to lose track of their major purpose, which is protecting the inside network from the outside, and start sticking their noses where they don't belong, that is, officating at traffic that is both to and from the inside network. --

Interesting thoughts. While embedded processors are getting cheaper and more powerful, they still can't come close to the power and flexibility of regular processors. Also there's the issue of firmware. Firmware changes in such devices are still limited and difficult. But software changes

Thank you for your reply, Sean. I am looking forward for the new Squeezenetwork services. Most companies would just charge a monthly fee for Squeezenetwork, getting more and more money as the user base grows. It is really cool that you do not charge anything. My existing SB2s are getting new

Yes, I should have mentioned this. SqueezeNetwork does cost Slim money. It's really fantastic that they don't charge for it. It shows care for Slim's customers and shows that we aren't viewed as just a cash cow! Josef Shvejk wrote: Most companies would just charge a monthly fee for

Good question. I think the best and easiest way would be to pull the drive off the slug, plug it into a PC and back-up onto another external drive - doing it through the slug would be too slow, from what I've read. But what does it do to the slug hack when you pull the drive off - ie. are the
