[slinkelist] Some questions/thoughts...

[Michael Neese]

This is how my system is setup. I have 2 computer connected via Microsoft
TCIP peer-peer. One system is used for connection to slink and running CDJ
and the other is my main system which is connected to the net via cable
modem. I have MS network sharing setup and can access the net from either
machine. When adding a new disc, just drop in player and fire up CDJ and
have it look-up right from that computer. I also use VNC to access the other
machine when now in the living room. All this has been working great.


Try the links below for security check on system connected this way.
