well if he'd gotten a wireless router, he could do the car MP3 player and run a linux server in his house to transfer the songs (which he ripped from his own CDs of course...) to his car! (BS++)

Add a wireless NIC... Pull into your driveway and say "Hold on, I need some fresh tunes," and download that other cure album to your system (or from someone else's system if you want to go wardialing, which I can't condone )
Yes that was the basic idea I was thinking of and I figured someone has probably done that already.

I did not think of the wireless NIC though. That's pretty cool.

I'll have to do some research on that sometime.

Already working on it, just need an inverter (and maybe an LCD so I don't have to use my 20-yr old 13" monitor)

And, uhhh, congrats on the router! (sorry)

Hey guys if your tired of messing with creating rules an such with routers an firewalls, goto this site an be amazed, i was and still am..http://www.alphashield.com i bought mine at radio shack and have had it tested with several "friends" and no one has made it thru. It takes 3 minutes hook up with NO SETUP involved. Im so happy i bought a few more for office and family. No need to use another firewall that takes precious cpu cycles. IT ONLY LETS IN WHAT YOU ASK IN! Good luck an enjoy.
