Your work PC wouldn't need to access the dynamic DNS. The name-to-address resolution will be done by whatever DNS server your PC uses. The port used is the standard DNS port, so they can't be blocking a port. If they blacklist dynamic DNS sites then maybe you can find an obscure DNS provider that isn't blocked. They can't possibly block them all. > - Even if I could get access, we use a Citrix system that means if I am > logged in to the system (necessary for internet access), I don't have > access to the laptop hardware.

This is the way to go if you don't mind spending the money on an external drive. If you can play MP3s on the laptop then transcode your library to MP3 and take that library to work. I'm sure the quality will be more than adequate, plus it will require a much smaller hard drive. Ideally, you could use a 2.5" or a 1.8" external drive. A 2.5" drive may need external power, but a 1.8" won't. This makes it very handy, as you can just plug it in like a flash drive and won't need a power adapter. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34371 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
