You can have a look at the following documentation page http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Connecting_remotely Here is how I would approach the problem - Setup your home router to use a free dynamic DNS service like Dyndns.org. This will allow finding your home IP using an address similar to "myhomeip.dyndns.org" - Setup your home router to assign your ReadyNAS a fixed IP address all the time. e.g. 192.168.1.5 - Setup your home router to forward traffic for Squeezebox server ports (3483 and 9000) your (now fixed) ReadyNAS internal address - Setup a password for your server. You don't want someone to start one of your zones at full blast in the middle of your sleep? This is not "spouse friendly"! - Change the maximum bitrate for your squeezelite to reduce bandwidth requirements (what is your connection's max upstream speed? choose a number well below it) and stay under the sysadmin's radar in your office - Setup your squeezelite player so it connects to your new dyndns address (e.g. myhomeip.dyndns.org). Looking at squeezelite's utils.c source code, it should be able to resolve the numeric address correctly. - If you want added security, you could change the internet facing port numbers. For example, use port 3876 for the protocol and 8899 for the interface. This is done by setting up the forwarding ports accordingly in your router. If you do so, you must then setup your player's command line to use server myhomeip.dyndns.org:3876 (specifying the port in the address) and remember that you have to access your server from your browser using http://myhomeip.dyndns.org:8899 This is all in theory, as I've never done it myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sle118's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
