In my dorm i use a linksys router connected to my server and my laptop. The router is hooked up to the wall via the WAN port. I can access the Firefly server on my LAN, but would like to be able to access it other places in the dorm. Preferrably, I’d like to keep the router inbetween myself and the rest of the network. I’ve tried opening ports(3689 and 5353), but havent had any success, i’m sure i’m missing someting. Any help?
You need something to advertise the daap server on the remote network. The best tool for that is probably Network Beacon on the mac, or Rendezvous proxy for windows.
Check out this page http://wiki.mt-daapd.org/wiki/SSH_Tunnel and look at the section on advertising your server on remote networks.
