Now that I've broken down and finally put a router between my machines and my broadband connection, everybody on my network can now enjoy browsing and streaming my music (a la HiJack! w00t!) collection over the LAN.

However, I've got a neighbor who I'd like to allow to stream from my player at the same time, and although I can forward all port 80 requests to the empeg and browse from outside our LAN and download individual tracks, the playlist that HiJack builds uses the only IP address it knows, which is internal.

Barring the other reasons I may not want to expose my empeg to the public Internet for now is there anything that can be done, or streaming handled differently to allow one to stream both internally and globally?

I don't expect anyone to bust a nut over it -- Intranet streaming alone satisfies a big wish-list ittem of mine already -- but, thoughts? VPN?
