My SlimServer is behind a firewall. I have port 22 open so I can use

Squeezebox firmware so SlimServer will have to do that work. The
client SlimServer could then appear like another player (ala
SoftSqueeze) and be able to browse and stream from the remote server.
you could use ssh to forward the TCP ports to the other slim server.
You would need an ssh client on your parrents network, if they have
windows, putty would work fine.. you just need to do something like
this:
ssh -g -L 9000:localhost:9000 -L 3483:localhost:3483 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
the -g will allow the squeezebox to connect over the ssh tunnel.
be warned, this could be really slow over DSL/Cable.
Why not just open a port on your router accessible only to their IP
address. In practice that's just as secure as an SSH tunnel and a lot
less complicated/error prone. IP restrictions are perfectly secure in
practice (and faster as well).
