<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">I am moving the Backend because where it is at the minute I have to use "rabit ears" antenna to pick up a tv signal. This is a very poor signal so I have proposed to move my backend and place it in a room where I have direct acess to a external antenna thus creating a strong signal. Then I hope to talk to the frontend from here?? Any ideas of how i would set up such a system??<BR><BR>

<DIV>Let's see if we understand the question:</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>1. You have a subnetwork (like a 192.168.x.x) behind an access point that runs network address translation (NAT), say in your dorm room?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>2. You want to move the backend to a network outside your local NAT onto the main campus network (friends with root are friends indeed :-) to get better bandwidth to the internet?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>The answer is most likely yes, but should you? Right now your front end and backend are talking to each other over a local network switch. When you watch TV, the stream between front-end and back-end might average 3Mb/sec (depending on transcoder settings). My guess is that your busy college network will give you really poor performance if you are competing with multiple users on the college network. </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>If you don't have to move the backend box to change networks, why not just plug your NAT device into the campus network? Alternatively, beg borrow or buy a PCI network interface card (they are probably $10 on newegg.com and are often found as trash in computer lab equipment rooms) and install a second card into your backend. One card is the local lan, the new card connects to the campus network. Best of both worlds.</DIV>

<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>I have setup a subnetwork inside a college network in which i currently have a backend and frontend mythbox. I wish to move my backend out of this subnetwork and onto the main network in order to get a better signal? Is it possible that I could do this and leave the frontend where it is and setup and IP tunnel through the network and if so how would I go about it??</DIV></DIV><BR>
