I have a Wired Only SB3. My routers Ethernet ports have died, but the wirless still works. I am waiting for the manufacturer to contact me about a replacement.
In the meantime I can't use my SB3, or can I. I have a dektop PC running SlimServer. This is connected to the router using 802.11g. I also have a laptop which is connected to the router using 802.11g. The laptop has an Ethernet port that is unused. Could I connect the laptops Ethernet port to the Ethernet port of the SB3 (using a crossover cable) so that the laptop was acting as a bridge for the SB3? I know a little about networking, but not a lot. My router has the address 192.168.1.1 and has a DHCP server which allocates the rest of the devices their IP addresses from 192.168.1.100. I guess that I would need to give the Ethernet card on the laptop an address outwith 192.168.xxx.xxx, or would I. I would then need to give the SB3 an address that was on the same network as the laptop Ethernet. Also I would need to point the SB3 at the gateway which would be the IP address of the Laptop Ethernet card. I did have a quick fiddle but didn't get anywhere. This is only a short term solution, but I don't want to be without my SB3 for any length of time. Could somebody please advise on what I need to do to get this working? I am having people round tomorrow night and don't want to be without music.
