Better to be safe than sorry so i port forwarded both UDP and TCP for 9000, 3483 and 9090, it probably overkill this means that you probably can hook upp a real SB to my server if you now the ip.
Don't forget to portforward both in the server and in the router. In my opinion the biggest problem would be the compony firewall/it-department switches routers servers etc. I'm working in Sweden when i check my external ip i sometimes conect to internet in switzerland or germany (big company). Second obstacle would be your work PC how "locked" is it. Fortunately i have tecnical job so i must be local admin on my laptop, everybody is not so lucky some can not alter or install anything. But I can use it in hotel rooms on their local network, wich i do frequently. Other usefull hints: If you don't have a fixed IP adress, use some kind of Dynamic DNS service. Use a router that supports Dyn DNS directly on the router( if needed). Use a router thats supports wake on lan over internet, this is handy you can boot the server from a remote location. Have a server that allows some kind of remote admin so you can shut it down when not in use. Other SB users have set up some kind of VPN tunneling or similar for this, but i'm not familiar with howto do that, it is safer. My safety is that my server is music only (have backups) and contains nothing personal if hacked so what ? of course i have a firewall in the server. -- Mnyb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51353 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
