Help everyone. I'd like to write a wiki on how to remote stream from start to finish. There is a wiki them mentions it but it does not provide enough detail to be sueful at the moment.
I don't have remote streaming working yet but these are the steps I believe are necessary. Please feel free to reply here and correct or supplement what I've said so far. 1) Download, load and setup a squeezecenter on a PC in your home. 2) Put some music on it. 3) Assign the PC a static IP address. (By default in the Linksys world the DHCP server begins assigning IP address at 100, in other words 192.168.1.100) So in this case I assigned my "music server" 192.168.1.99. 4) Enter the router configuration (usually enter 192.168.1.1 in your browser) and locate the port forwarding section. Add an entry for forwarding port 9000 to the newly assigned IP address. 5) Since you need to know the public IP address for your router (in order to hit it from the outside world) signup with a dynamic DNS service. These services will allow you to create an account on their system, then load a small client program on your machine that will keep their system updated when your ISP changes your router's Ip address. I used www.dyndns.com. 6) Load softsqueeze on the remote computer and enter the host name you created with your dynamic DNS provider :9000 as the location of your music server. For example mymusic.selfip.com:9000 -- mskvarenina ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mskvarenina's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17717 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48517 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
