I sometimes connect to my Vortexbox library from locations outside of my home by connecting via the external IP address. What I've noticed in iPeng that concerns me, is that even when I am home and on WiFi my players will often times show as being connected to the external address (99.82.xxx.xxx), rather than the internal address (192.168.xxx.xxx). This seems to happen by itself. I'll switch the players over to the internal address, but the next time I open iPeng they'll show as connected to the external address. Doesn't happen everytime, but often enough that I'm posting this question.
Does this distinction between external and internal address matter? Is the data being routed through my cable modem (out to the internet, then back in) when a player is connected to the external address? This would introduce a potential bottleneck, no? All this said, I've not noticed any playback issues. Just want to understand this better. -- ajkidle Squeezeboxen: 2x SBR, SB3, 2x Boom, Radio, iPeng Controlled by: iPhone 4 running iPeng Server: MSI Nettop 100 running VortexBox 1.10, SBS 7.6.1 Music Sources: Locals FLACs, Rhapsody, Pandora ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ajkidle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92009 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
