[QUOTE="bboyreason, post: 1025632, member: 124031"] [b]sweet[/b] i am not quite sure of all the risks involved, but the data on the computers is well backed up and i wouldnt care if anyone stole it or i had to do a reinstall; i think this is a good way of learning the risks involved though; just to be clear, i am wanting to have my macbook at home (with an ext HD), i have a reserved address for it on the network (192.168.1.x) which otherwise is using DHCP; i read some about setting up ssh, but dont i need to set it up on the macbook as well and forward to the port on this machine? i thought i would need to forward to the machine at home? or have i got it backwards? thanks for the great post, i think with this info it is now just a matter of time before i can leave my mac out of harms way and travel with a cheap netbook with free open source software edit: btw i set up an account with no-ip.org, so they are providing a static ip that refers to my sometimes changing ip from provider? do i need to correspond any port forwarding to this service, or just to the macbook? or to the netbook (although i dont see how, unless i specify by MACaddress, because the netbook would have different IP depending on where i was) [/QUOTE]
