    i did : left button (long) to enter the setup
    and here i can see the current setings
    and the line : bridge wireless to ethernet No

    but here, nothing to do to change it to Yes ?

    Sorry - it's been a while since I used the network bridging option.

    Perfect !

    1. Plug the device that you want to connect to your wireless network
    into the ethernet port on the back of Squeezebox2 using an
    ethernet crossover cable. You can purchase a crossover cable at
    most retail computer stores.
    2. Press and hold the LEFT arrow on the remote for fi ve seconds to
    enter the Squeezebox2 setup screens.
    3. Press UP to scroll to the Set Up Networking selection and press
    RIGHT.

    4. Go through the network setup screens, choosing to connect to a
    wireless network and then select your region.
    5. You should be presented with the option to turn on wireless
    bridging. Select Yes and then press RIGHT.
    6. Continue pressing RIGHT to fi nish setting up your wireless
    connection. At the end, your Squeezebox2 will be acting as a
    wireless bridge.

    Thanx again Mark !

    You're welcome, but I don't think my initial advice helped all that much, it was flat-out wrong (I was thinking of pressing left or right - up, as you indicated, brings you to another menu item.)

    I'm trying to find the wiki item referenced in the thread I cited. I can't find it.

    I notice the directions you followed were from the user's manual. It's funny, I never thought of looking there. There's so much more information in the forum and the wiki I forgot about it, but it seems to have just the right info in this case!
