Reason:Permission, I dont own the router I am behind. only open port is 5009(airport-admin). I was afraid that any answer would require the "inside" system to initiate the access. I hoped I was wrong, but...... I looked at yoics but not really what I wanted. I dont want to be forced to install a client app on the "outside" system, (something impossible if it isnt my system). Yoics was limited anyway and would force reconfig of all my "inside" systems too.
