Then no Squeezenetwork or Radio would be available....

A Linux box with 2 cards is a router or a switch in most cases: depending on how you configure it. If you enable routing, it is a router. If you build the kernel so that it supports bridging, it is a switch. You will need to do one or the other in order to allow radio as the SB needs to be able to make a direct connection to the remote stream. (And need to use NAT...) A switch on eth0 would make this trivial to install. Sure, he can do it on eth1, but then, again, how on earth will it get off network if it has no router? Yes, it is an IP issue: that is why he needs a router. It is also an ethernet issue because he is setting up a new network with what sounds like limited networking experience. Really: it is not hard to type: ifconfig eth1 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 If that is something someone needs to ask about, they really should just install a switch and make their lives easier. A switch costs $20, not that much more than a NIC. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32991 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
