Hej bernt!

I've been looking to try Hamachi for a while now (to use with
slimserver: work - home) and when I read this I decided to try.
Unfortunatly I ran into problems.

At work I managed to install Hamachi, but when I tried to connect the
first time it didn't work. I only get a Failed to connect to the
mediation server bibi.hamachi.cc. Would you like to keep
trying?-messege. It probably has something to do with the company
firewall or something...

Do you know any steps to work around this?

Sign up for a free/basic Dynamic DNS account at no-ip.com
You install a small service on your machine which can watch your router
for changes to the I.P. address assigned to it by your broadband
provider. It will then update a DNS entry for you so that you can
contact the machine by a hostname.

Then you need to open some ports (3483  9000) on your router pointing
them to the Slimserver box. The exact mechanism for doing this varies
by router.

If you just want to stream audio to Winamp, you just need port 9000. If
want to run Softsqueeze, then you'll need 3483 also.

Here's the Wiki entry.

Many thanks indeed!

Already on the case with a free DNS service from DynDNS.  Now just got
to see if I can remember how to configure port forwarding on my US
Robotics router.

Excellent stuff though - thanks again.

Cool - thanks bernt!

I've got slim working (sort of) using DynDNS.  I'm working from home
today, but someone in our office in Maidenhead can access my SlimServer
- while someone in our West London office can't access it :(

Sadly I'm normally based in the West London office, so I need to get
that location working.  But it's definitely close though.

If I have no joy getting it working as is, then I'll try Hamachi. 
Excellent - cheers!
