Hi Murph:
This is very nice representation. A question to add to this mix.

I have Household B scenario. I have the DSL modem , connected to a linksys 4 port router with wireless. To the router i connect a 8 port switch (wired through one port on router). The switch feeds to 5 rooms in the house and 2 ports on it are connected to a printer and SAN box(Netgear SC101).

With this config, my PCs cannot see the SAN..not sure why.
But when i move the SAN directly to the linksys router, i can see it in all other rooms.

Is the switch not able to give proper IP address to SAN?

Also what media servers are being used to stream to PS3?

Any insight is appreciated.

Regs,
Avi
