    Thanks for the help Mike... and to all the others that have helped. Your solution though
    is what I'd like to do... it seems like the smoothest way. My desktop system is an
    Octane... and I've tried to do what you suggested, but currently my connection from here
    at work into my Octane at home is through my firewall then into my home network. I've
    currently got only ssh open through my firewall, and that works fine.

    But of course when I ssh into home and run videoin, it just doesn't work right. I'm
    thinking that the problem is that I need to open up some more ports in my firewall to
    allow the signal to get back to my Octane, but I'm not sure. If that is the case, I feel
    stupid saying I'm not sure what port to open up.

    Any thoughts from anybody?
