Well, if port 9000 is blocked on her side, you could try setting up an SSH server at home and having her connect with an SSH client, and tunneling ports 9000 and 3483. It is likely that the firewall does not block port 22, which is used for an SSH server. Just to be sure we were clear, your wife did try the actual IP address of your WAN IP and not the intended replacement text of <ipaddressofserver> (eg telnet 34.35.36.37 9000). The test you ran on only indicated that she cannot connect to your server. Her firewall, your firewall, or your slimserver could be blocking the connection. You'll have to determine which of those it is. -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20592 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
