It's also on page 20 of the manual. It doesn't explicitly say that the
cable must be connected to see the option, but if you follow the steps

Bridging a network segment to itself can indeed cause some problems.

I have read here and there that Squeezebox also acts as wireless
bridge. I did a quick test last evening without luck.
When I connected my music server to an SB3 it failed to aquire an IP
address on boot. The DHCP server did not log any attempts either.
The SB3 unix is connected to a Linksys
It works great, I use it a lot. You need to make sure of a few things:
Use a crossover cable (unless the NIC on the server is auto-sensing)
Make sure bridging is enabled - go back through network setup with the

Actually, thinking about it, scratch that suggestion of mine above.
Rather than fix the manual, why not fix the software so that it asks
the question whether the wired ethernet is active or not?
Surely that is simpler for all? Then you won't have newbies like me
wondering why the hell the

to set it up.
