Except that 192.168.0.3 is a private non-routable IP address. If you want the slimserver to be seen outside of your private network, you will have to to the following things. 1. Read security FAQs telling you why this is a really bad idea 2. Hope your ISP will allow this traffic 3. Configure your router to forward port 90, then your slimserver will appear as http://81.100.21.105:9000/stream.mp3 4. Read again why this is not a good idea Seriously, you may be opening up your computer to hacks by exposing this port to the wild. Also, if your IP has not assigned a static IP address, then whenever they decide to change it, your server will use the new address. -- - Mike Scott - [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
