Folks, Apologies if this question is a repeat. Although, I couldn't find anything in the archives w.r.t. my issue with SlimServer.
My Purpose: Access my mp3 music at work over the internet Background: 1. I have SlimServer 6.2.1 running at home on XP Pro.[say IP add is 1.2.3.4] 2. the ip address of my linksys router is 34.35.36.37 [Live IP through DSL] 2. I have a linksys router with port 9000 forwarded to 1.2.3.4 3. I have a dynamic dns setup through dyndns: the link is xxx.homedns.org = 34.35.36.37 4. I have a webhop setup as follows: yyy.hobby-site.org = xxx.homedns.org:9000 5. Another interesting data point, from my work, if i open-up a browser like explorer and point the url to yyy.hobby-site.org, I can access my SlimServer just fine and I can play my music just fine. Problem: Here's the catch, when the wife tries to access the SlimServer from her work - she opens a browser firefox/explorer and points the browser to yyy.hobby-site.org. However, she can't get to the SlimServer webpage like I can ... The error message she gets is 'Unable to Connect'. With Firefox, the error message is 'Unable to Connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at xxx.homedns.org:9000' Troubleshooting: With regards to troubleshooting, if i do a tracert, her pc can resolve the url of yyy.hobby-site.org all the way to dyndns just fine. Obviously, she is getting all the way to the SlimServer to get the message that I am getting. So, at this point, I am unsure of how do i go about troubleshooting this problem. Thoughts? Obviously, any pointers will be more than appreciated.
