It is certainly possible to do this - in fact I am doing it now. Take a look here http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?ConnectingRemotely for some details.
The main things to do to enable this are a) get a fixed internet IP address for your home network. This is easily done by signing up with a site such as dyndns.org. b) set up ssh tunneling on your server PC so that you can access from outside without compromising security. c) forward ports 9000 and 3843 on your router to the server PC internal IP address. d) run softsqueeze on the remote machine and set up the ssh parameters to match your server details. e) limit bandwidth of the streaming for the remote instance of softsqueeze so as to avoid dropouts over a poor web connection. It can sound a bit daunting but it is a great thing to have once you have set it up - all your music available whilst in a hotel room for instance, or at a friends place. davep -- davep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41695 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
