The dyndns just resolves to the public IP address of the router. You're not connecting to anything "out there". The router should handle this properly and not send the traffic over the internet. I just tried it at my home and once I set up the address mapping and an appropriate firewall rule, it works just fine and is only > Now, I wouldn't put it past Sympatico to implement traffic shaping that > slows down packets from SlimServer, thinking it's P2P traffic.

If the traffic doesn't traverse their network then this shouldn't be a possibility for the current problem. Once he connects from outside then it may, but if anything, I would think traffic shaping might help. In any case a NNN kbps outgoing connection won't be able to sustain a streaming rate of greater than NNN kbps. In my experience it's generally capable of a much less, depending on the quality of the network. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34657 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
