I regularly listen to music streamed from my SlimServer at home, from work.
I have windows XP, running Slim, behind a router and firewall. I connect using SSH. I have Cygwin installed on my windows PC, and have port 22 (standard SSH port) forwarded to that machine. In my work place, I can get to web sites that are not running on port 80, but I prefer the security that SSH provides. However, I have the added complexity that I need to use a SOCKS proxy for SSH to work - you may well find that this is the case for your wife as well. If you use SoftSqueeze, you can configure SSH and SOCKS proxy settings in the GUI, otherwise you will need to install an SSH client (Putty is a good GUI client), and open the tunnel manually. Hope that helps!
