Wow, so short of using a crossover cable direcly to my PC (which defeats the pont of trying to stream music to a different room) or getting an old-technology 10baseT hub there is no way to get this to work wth an auto-switcing hub? No network settings or anything like that? This is really frustrating! i've had the unit for years and just never fully tested or used it because I reconfigured some stuff in my house... now i'd like to use this to stream music into my garage. I thought I was smart by running a cat-5 out there! Any further help is appreciated!!!! Thanks,
