Well I know this is not ideal, but you do NOT need a internet connection if you have a local PC server. Its just one or the other makes things much better and usually the internet connection is the easiest for people. The local PC server would provide the clock sync that the Touch wants. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77810 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
