failboat I hope this is more clear. Alabalcho is your solution for this valid?
:
I am convinced by a thread that a media player ( be it a PC or for instance Sonore UtraRendu) connected to its (PC) server directly sounds much better ( more transparent) than indirectly because player and server are connected to the same router or switch. but not directly to each other. The router or switch is also the source for internet and this way all are on the same private net work sharing the same sub net.
A direct connection between the player and the server is to have one Ethernet port on the server connected to the one of the player.
In order to remotely see the library of the server and the player in an android software player (mobile phone), all of them must be in the same sub.net.of the private network. The router on this private network gives access to internet and takes care of the wireless part connected to mobile phone. The server connects one port to the player and one port to the private network for internet and to see other computers in the house.
The private network is in my case a 192.168.xx...
Windows 10 refuses to accept the two ports of the computer to be in the same private network and keeps them separate or malfunctioning when manually forced ( canceling DHCP) unless the two ports are bridged. Bridging in Windows 10 is extremely easy and part of right clicking the 2 or more Ethernet connections
The ultraRendu (player) and server (PC) and mobile phone (WiFi) should all be on the same sub net with internet to play Tidal with this setup
How to complete this feat in windows server 2016 (CORE)? It does not seem to be easy for windows server? Or is bridging in WS2016 not necessary
