I prefer hardwired anyway, so you two stop your bickering! \:\)

Seriously, thanks to everyone for their help. It really WAS cool when all this fell together! All of a sudden, after years of no networking happening AT ALL, I'm listening to music on my Denon streamed from one computer and controlling the Denon through Mozilla from a different room. And it was all Plug 'n Play in an environment where NOTHING ever seemed to be Plug 'n Play!

Before buying the receiver, I had all that talk about hooking up a hard disc to the USB jack. I had absolutely NO idea that I would boot a computer and get a window asking if I'd like to share my music with the Denon.

Hell Yeah, I would!

Now, I couldn't imagine buying a receiver without networking capability (as I sit here listening to a Blues station from New Zealand...)
