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??<br><br>--- End Original ---<br><br>Hey there. <br><br>It doesn't really matter where you move the box. As long as one can see the other (via PING), then you can tunnel from the frontend to the backend. OpenVPN is probably the solution you want.
