It is perfectly possible to access a remote slimserver. This is how the squeezenetwork works. The issue is routing. Most home networks are behind "NAT" wifi routers. This allows several PCs, squeezeboxes, whatever to connect via one publicly addressable internet connection. This also provides a ruidmentary firewall for all devices behind the NAT router. To access a slimserver outside of a NAT router, you must forward ports from the public interface to the private address of the slimserver. This is documented in the wiki: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?BeginnersGuideToNetworks This can be very dangerous. Unless you are careful and restrict the access, anyone on the internet may be able to access your slimserver. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39559 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
