This is correct. I have opened my modem to allow streaming to my notebook while I'm not at home. Without "allow from," anybody could poke to my SC. Normally, I would tell my modem to "translate" a port to 9000 so that people poking around looking for SC on port 9000 would have to guess a different port to connect-to. This isn't possible because SoftSqueeze always gets it music on port 9000... -- pski ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47167 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
