Disklavier

Matthew, 

Thanks again for the quick response to my question.  
It seems that may be the only way to hook the 
disklavier to wireless connection  to internet using
 the Airport Express/Extreme hardware and will 
probably buy  the newer Airport Extreme hub as 
we will need to do so in the future when we upgrade
 our  current Macs.  

I suspect this will  lead to setting up our home
 network with new IP  Address from the new 
Airport Extreme box once it is installed.  Such  
technical  headaches, but glad my headaches
 are with Apple equipment versus PC.  
Always wonder what other people do without
 some  technical expertise to get all  their hitech
  gadgets working?

After attempting the setup last nite with  
current base  station, I decided that the 
purchase of Airport Extreme base station
 was probably inevitable.  When I rehooked
my ethernet  as a direct  connection  to Mark IV, 
it did  not pick up the internet connection.  
Not until I remembered to reset my portable to
sharing via ethernet did I solve this problem. My
DH was sure I had messed up our lovely "disklavier
radio".  But all works again.

Joan
