# not very
I tried dyndns, but it just gives me access to the router setup, which I really don't want on the web...

# Did you ever

# nah
vlc sort of works. I can play the video files from it, but the menus don't work

# Might be worth having a look at
MPlayer as well. If that's no good, g'is a shout and I'll send you mine (I'm on Panther now, mind, so it may have been updated)

# noooo
I don't want to have to think about all of this configuration stuff and things.

I like being able to code things!

# Ooh...
Thinking about it, the desktops still have Jaguar on them, so I could grab one from there

# Look on the bright side
At least you be won't trashing any external HDs any time soon

# it was ok with mine :)
..Expose does rock though, and the whole thing is nice and zippy too :)

# Yeah,
I didn't have any externals plugged in when I did mine, thankfully. Sounds like the Advice Notice that Apple are giving is bollocks though... lots of people are reporting problems with regular firewire drives, not just FW800s... :(

edit: and, yes, expose is ace

# doh :(
my least favourite moment was when iTunes 2 hosed my entire home directory a couple years back :(

# I might make a point of
setting fire to one now.

# i ran into that
when I was hosting from mine... typing the correct address on my local puter (behind the router) always called up the router config... visiting from any external puter showed the site. Using a proxy to view my own site worked for a bit, but proxies are a pain in the arse, so I gave up!

hope that helps though :)

# yay
thanks :)

I'll look up how to do proxies :)

# as long as you've got
port 80 (and *only* port 80) open on the router, it should be grand :)
