Streaming music from home to work
Liquid Meat:
I have this crazy idea that I would like to stream my own music from home to work. I can only take so much Brittney, Jessica Simpson and such "music" that my coworkers listen to. I suppose that I could use shoutcast, but I am not sure what kind of bandwidth I would need at home to do it. If I could just connect to my own box and listen that would be great. I have a cable connection at home and a pretty big pipe at work so....Can anyone suggest a way to do it or give me some idea on the bandwidth that I might be eating up running a shoutcast? I assume that it would be based on the rate that I streamed the music. I am just not sure how one would go about calculating such. I would rather not have my cable provider flagging me because of 8-10 hours of high bandwidth usage each day. Thanks folks.

Given the ports are available, VNC might be a much better option.
It will do this: "If I could just connect to my own box and listen that would be great" and more. It will be like having your home desktop at work, or vice versa. I use it to access my work PC from home all the time and it's great.
This is what I use but there are others out there

You can't HEAR your music over VPN, at least not that I've ever witnessed. It's great for freaking out your roomie by messing w/ your music when you're not home though.

Would it be possible to access my hard drives and then play the files on my box at work from files at home?
You guys rock BTW.
