I think you got it right! The configuration I'm thinking of is having a regular installation of Win 7 Ultimate on the dedicated computer. This computer would run the Squeezebox Server, while connected directly via Ethernet to the Touch. Every now and then, I would perform the basic maintenance both on the OS and the Squeezebox software via wireless a remote desktop from my laptop. Yes! So far, I have the impression that it will be hard (if not impossible) to make it work, but I already picture myself running everyday playback from my Android remote and feeling good about having purchased the Touch! Thanks again for your support, you already helped me by giving me hope so as to face sleepless nights trying to figure things out. If I manage to make things work, it would be with help! -- Solrac ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Solrac's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89674 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
