[slim] Re: connecting to slimserver by name instead [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you haven't voted on this already, do it to request a SSH support in SqueezeBox: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2661 If adding the possibility to enter a hostname in the SB settings I think it would also make sense to make it possible to enter a port number. This way it would be possible to run several slimservers on the same machine and switch between them easier. For example using a slimserver instance for each family member. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25210 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'm aware of this and I for sure would have to put some additional effort into it to make it more secure. However, I still would like to know if it's somehow possible to use a name instead of a IP address for the slimserver on the SB3. And if that is not possible - how it looks like - I would like to know why that is and how the SB3 is connecting to the squeezenetwork in this case. I can't imagine that the IP@ of the server(s) is really hard coded there. Or is it? It would also be nice, if a kind of a password to connect to the slimserver could be configured on the SB3.

Re: [slim] Re: connecting to slimserver by name instead [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, I still would like to know if it's somehow possible to use a name instead of a IP address for the slimserver on the SB3. IMHO no. But the SSH client could do this for you. So instead of first trying to resolve a problem you finally won't have, make it secure in the first place ;-). I would like to know why that is Only the developers can say for sure. Maybe because it isn't needed in 99.99% of all cases (because the server is recognized automatically in a typical environment) and would only complicate things (have an input field accepting anything, not only IP addresses). and how the SB3 is connecting to the squeezenetwork in this case. I The server _names_ are hardcoded - no need to change them as this would be the case for your own slimserver. It would also be nice, if a kind of a password to connect to the slimserver could be configured on the SB3. It's already there: Server Settings - Security. But it's rather for preventing accidental changes than usage in an insecure environment. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

You could always use a local PC as SSH gateway: connect it to the server, tunneling the necessary ports, and make them available on the remote network. I'm using this to do tests from at work... So you are telling me that the SB is already working as a DNS client Yes, I think it does. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

However, I still would like to know if it's somehow possible to use a name instead of a IP address for the slimserver on the SB3. if you use a service like dyndns, then that is completely transparent to slimserver. If your server is accessible from the outside world as 24.83.199.2, and you map that IP to slimtest.dyndns.org then the url is http://slimtest.dyndns.org:9000. As long as you set up the updater application, or donate for the static dns service then you only have to wait for the TTL for full updates to all dns servers. -k ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
