>>>No WiFi or access to your internet needed<<< Ok, thanks. This was the answer I was seeking. I may have missed the answer (likely), but when I was trying to nail people down on whether the router would still need to be connected to the Internet it seemed like the conversation would drift to the topic of why I didn't want to connect my Touch to the rest of my home (Internet) network. I guess I'm confusing the meaning of the term "network"...wrongly thinking it automatically includes Internet connection. Ok so I could stick a router between a VBA and the Touch and it would likely work. Would an ethernet "switch" accomplish the same thing? -- Howard Turkster ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Howard Turkster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=85420 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
