Hi - I just added the streamng service to iPeng.  I've read your guide,
and I have several questions before I start setting up my music server
for remote access (which I would prefer over Audiogalaxy).

I will be using a VPN.  I have a Linksys router (which supports VPN) and
know how to access it's settings.

First - my regular music server is on an Windows XP machine which offers
PTPP.  The iPhone settings have that as an option as well.  Will that
work with iPeng?

Second - by default my Linksys router is set to DHCP.  If I'm using VPN,
do I need to change that to Static IP in the internet setup section ? 
If I do so, I then see an address beginning with something other than
192.168 as my Internet IP Address

Third - do I also need a static IP address for my VPN Server?  Do I
achieve that by turning off DHCP in my network address server settings
on my router or can I set it for a particular machine.  (Couldn't find a
way to do that.)  Do I need to be concerned with port forwarding?

Finally - Setting up VPN on the iPhone do I enter the external IP
Address of the Router as the server?

Sorry for all these questions, but I want to know what I'm getting into
before I start.
