yes but why ? there are many ways to design a functioning network, using a router is one of them and by far the easiest, configure point to point communication is possible however the initial setup and and a lot things need internet so it would be of limited function (no radio or services or upgrades). (The server could have internet pass-trough thou and be wifi connected, but a very bizarre idea ) I would not think any OS on a server would be happy wo internet either for updates etc . A major point is to NOT have the server in the listening room btw, not having buzzing fans and whirring hd's is a good upgrade. Ethernet cables can be up to 100m trouble free... -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
