Good advice - I listen to my music remotely from work quite often and set this up too. The stock firmware in the Linksys WRT-54G supports this and will update DynDns regularly. Regarding using SoftSqueeze as the remote player - keep in mind that for that to work you have to forward another port in addition to 9000 - the slimproto port of 3483. At work, I found that I was not able to use SoftSqueeze. I think the proxy was blocking 3483 for some strange reason. But I could use both Winamp and Windows Media Player to play the stream.mp3 stream. For this to work, you tell winamp or wmp to play the url http://<ip of your home network>:9000/stream.mp3. If you have a user name and password set up for accessing the web page for slimserver (which you should if you have enabled remote access), then you will be prompted for the user name and password. Once you are streaming, you control what is being played from the web page. The advantage of using something like dyndns is <ip of your home network> can be a name rather than a number, like mynetwork.homeip.net. Have fun. -- maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42552 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
