The Nokia N800 is being used by many SB users as a better remote control, but it is a very capable system itself and many users are developing s/w for it. Nokia N800 web site http://europe.nokia.com/n800 What is missing from above is that it has an FM radio built in as well. canola

MrSinatra, The N800 pretty much matches your hardware spec and possibly the price point and the canola media streamer provides most of the media functionality now. What would differentiate your product from it ? -- bpa

first of all, a laptop is too big and bulky. secondly, the SD team already takes parts and designs them into the SB, which they also write the FW for. all i am suggesting is that they include the chips necessary to that to do SS and an OS they could customize for SS, and make very lightweight.

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I have tried changing the gateway address to 192.168.0.1, which is what the router setup says is the LAN port IP address, so I think you were right with that. Unfortunately it still doesn't work! Regards the router having a DHCP server, I think it does, but

any chance SD would take your work here, and incorporate it into the main pgm? I doubt it. We're rather concentrating on the main tasks and leave the special features to plugins. Many are asking for a SlimServer Light, or asking to not add any feature, but concentrate on improving the current
