never crossed my mind...  i always look forward to reading your posts,
as i think you have well reasoned and intresting things to say.  i also
appreciate being set straight.

well, in my case i don't use security, same for my parents.  if
security was necessary, then simply briefly turn it off to get SC to
see the SBR, then use SC to setup the SBR, then turn security back on.

seems reasonable to me, but perhaps i'm missing something.  i think i
saw in other forums too some kind of beta tool for configuring a SBR,
but maybe not.  i didn't read the thread.

i couldn't get even a light to turn on, on the ethernet port btw,
except for when it was sbr > ethernet cable > computer, but even then i
don't think anything worked.

yes...  and chances are i will just keep my parents on SC for now.  but
the thing i wanted to be able to do is allow him to listen to net radio
without a computer on at all, and use his laptop with SN as the remote
when needed.

seems like it all needs to mature before that becomes simple.
