Well, this forum is wonderful...

Firstly, thank you very much for your answer...

After reading your answers (fast, I must read, slowly), well, I must
tell you:

1) my cable is asymetric giving 4Mbit for download and 300K for
upload...I think this is for limiting the P2P programs...and I outside
U.S. I am in Valencia (Spain)....About the connection in my work is
much faster...

2) The connection works much better using VPN...I can use access to the
slimserver (in my work)  without VPN but I only do this (with VPN)  with
the SoftSqueeze...I dont know how to do it with the Squeezebox..

You could be right, Anyway I did several tests, using the ISP internal
network, and I obtain 3.8Mbit (4Mbit is what they sell)...They
guarantee 4Mbit in his internal network +- 20 %....I can't speak with
them...

¿Could youu explain me how to do the tunnel with the slimserver? Is
this better than VPN?

You are right, is complicating things...Well the point was to have same
music in my home and in my work...

About sound quality...When it works OK ¿Have I lowering the sound
quality?



Thank you very much again....
