Just went through this process and got it working this week. First off, you need to port forward 9000 and that other port to the ip address of the computer on your network running SS. Second, you have to have a static IP address. And when you try to come in from the outside it is that IP address you use http://Your_static_home_IP:9000. If you are using a firewall on the computer that is running SS, you need to open it up ( zone alarms, put into your trusted zone, the ip address of your work and the ip addresses that hamachi uses) to the proper ip address ranges. My companies firewall completely locked me out so I had to set up a free vpn connection using Hamachi. I am not very computer literate and the ssh tunnel thingy sounded like too much for me. Here is a recent thread I started re Hamachi and how to get it working: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33407 The Hamachi website is: http://hamachi.cc/ good luck. It is a bit of trouble to get set up, but I really love being to access and listen to my home music library at work. -- shadowboxer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shadowboxer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8302 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33543 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
