Here's a newbie question:

I installed slimserver on my Mepis box, and am able to stream MP3s to
other computers on my home network, on port 9000. Very slick.
(http://slimdevices.com/)

Naturally, I want to play my music at work. I am a Cox customer. My
media player should be able to connect to http://my.ip.add.ress:9000
from my office desktop -- right? Can't do it.

I know I'm on DHCP. As long as my Mepis box is running, it should
hold onto that IP address. Right?

I suppose this means my office, or Cox, or both, have that port
blocked? Or am I just stumbling in the dark?

If anyone else has installed slipserver, or has other insight, please chime in.

Craig
