If you have a firewall on the machine running slimserver (like the firewall Windows XP enables by default), you do have to worry about opening ports. Though you certainly don't have to worry about ports being opened and/or fowarded in the router unless you are accessing your server from outside your local network. -- maggior ------------------------------------------------------------------------ maggior's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42831 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
