I guess I will look those over again and make any need changes once we get you up and running. They were posted with the release of SoftSqueeze 1.0, not that much has changed in the SSH tunneling feature of SoftSqueeze2 but I'm sure they could be refined.
Sorry, but I can't find the help page you refer to. There's a "Softsqueeze
SSH Tunneling Howto" that points you to how to set up a (generic) SSH
Server, but doesn't address the steps necessary to make it and the
slimserver work together on a Windows system.
You need to set you router/firewall to forward Port 22 to the local network IP address of of your XP box running SSH and Slimserver. You don't need to forward any other ports through the firewall. The point of SSH tunneling is that all traffic and ports needed are tunneled through the single open and secure port.Sorry to reveal my ignorance (again), but your note raised a couple of questions for me:
1) Which port on the Slimserver? My firewall won't forward to just an IP
address, it needs a port number as well.
2) How does one set up the SSH config file? - it doesn't appear to beIt should be. It is just a generic text file that hold all the settings that SSH uses when it starts up.
something that Notepad can handle.
3) I didn't realize that one could enter the IP address in the "SSH Server"When you enter the IP address of the SSH Server, make sure that you are using the IP address assigned to your WAN/Router by your ISP, not the IP address of the XP box on your local network.
box - it appears to be a dropdown with only one choice. Thanks to your
note, though, I've put the right information in that box. I still can't
connect, but I feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Let me know if any of that was helpful. If not, don't worry we'll get it. Lots of people use this feature everyday so it is just a matter of trouble shooting your setup and getting you enjoying your music collection from anywhere with an internet connection.
