Thanks for the reply. I've just tried this method. It does indeed connect to ethernet - I can also see the squeezeboxtouch on my router. However it will not connect to the squeezebox.com server when I search for my music. Gone back to wireless and all is OK. So I'm making progress even if I am not quite there yet.
