Oh, the original question about using SSH tunnels was from another poster. A responder suggested solving the problem with a VPN, so I offered my configuration as a working example of slimservice over VPN from a far-away slimserver. I've accessed my slimserver from various places; work, parents' house, friends' houses, even over Verizon's EVDO network and was able to use uncompressed FLAC in all cases except EVDO (where I had to turn the bitrate down to <=128 kbps). Slimserver uses http to stream music data, which is nice because it's relatively low overhead. I agree with your point though, that you do need a decent broadband connection for this to work without bitrate limiting. Since the SB doesn't support ssh directly, an ssh tunnel would require a laptop, which is apparently vacation contraband for the original poster... -- rudholm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21890 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
