Hi all,
Lots and lots of knowledge here, so I'm hoping someone can help with a
question.
I currently have a Netgear DG834G ADSL wireless hub (or maybe its a
switch, I'm not sure!). When we move house, I'm planning on installing
cat5 and a patch panel. Due to layout, I wont be able to have the

No problem at all, just house your patch panel and switch at some convenient
point in the building, then patch all your PC's, Squeezeboxes, and any other
network connected peripherals into the points around the house. Patch these
points to the switch next to the patch panel and hey presto, you

The versatility of the slimserver is huge, the Squeezebox H/W and remote
may be used for information display and remote control, home automation
etc. I would definitely by more units if there was an optional cheaper
version without the audio outputs, perhaps also only with the wireless
ethernet.
I jest checked ebuyer and there seems to be no information about the ports
on their switch. I use Netgear switches and these are usually either
auto-sensing or have one port that can be used as a 'crossover' connection
via a front panel switch.
