Than you Michael.

I fully agree that in general it is a bad idea to open ports and expose
internal services like this. I have configured my dd-wrt router to
provide VPN services, which is what I normally use when I need to access
my home LAN from away. However, unless the Squeezebox player do not have
a hidden VPN client, this does not really help me in my current
situation.

I am on vacation with a Squeezebox Radio, and my laptop. I want to be
able to listen to music while I'm away. I don't want my laptop being
turned on 24/4 and turned into a VPN gateway. 

I am prepared to accept the risks during my vacation of having the ports
open (ideally, I should at least remap them away from the default
values, if possible).

But my core problem is that *even if this is not recommended, I can't
even do it!* I am unable to tell the Squeezebox at what address to
locate the server. I do not even understand how I am supposed to do
that. The "Change Library" menu option, which sounds most promising,
just says something like "Reconnecting to <internal name of my LMS
server>".
