Hey everyone

I have a home network setup sharing my broadband using an Asante Boradband Router with 4port 10/100 Hub.

I use my Powerbook at work and want to access my G4 tower at home with all my tunes on it. How do I do this as the G4 is assigned a local IP from the router.

My ISP gives me a dynamic IP but it only changes about once every 6 months. Will this be a problem?

Help!!! It's too quiet in this office!
 
You are going to have to punch a hole in your router's NAT firewall and open up you machine to the world.

But mostly it'll require looking at the manual. ;)

Unless somebody knows off the top of their head how to walk you through the process on the Asante.
