Hello,

I'm not good in networking, but is there a (simple) way to use my library at home and listen to it's music on my laptop/computer at another location? At home I'm using the library server function through the house and that's the idea I had but then on my laptop at another location.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Regards,


Theo

OK, that would be great, but my problem is how to set up a network for that other computer.
I know I have to make the other computer part of the same network.

But I guess I would have to allow the other computer to acces the server.
And then there are firewalls etc.

Or is it more easy then I imagine?

Thanks,


Theo

You have an external ip adress(www.whatismyip.com) to which you connect from work. Then you have to open a port in your router(at home) which points to your server pc within your network. The last part depends on what type of router you have.
