You won't. The Touch has Auto MDIX, so it will detect the type of connection and automatically do the "crossover", if necessary. Your PC isn't that old and probably does the same thing. > Also, what software do I need to download to the PC? You'll need to download and run Logitech Media Server (LMS). How you'll get music onto that PC is a different problem. Probably the easiest thing to do would be to do any ripping and tagging work on another PC and transfer it to the unconnected PC using old-fashioned "sneaker net" - which means carrying an external drive or USB flash key or similar between the PCs. Whet I'd probably if I had a network in the house is get that PC connected to the home network somehow. If an ethernet cable isn't feasible, install an inexpensive wireless card in the PC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101778 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
