Can you draw a simple diagram of how the systems are laid out? Like:
Code:
laptop ---> Internet --> router --> host1 --> host2
where laptop runs FreeBSD, host1 runs FreeBSD, host2 runs Windows, etc. |
No Windows involved.
Code:
Laptop (NetBSD) ---> Internet ---> router/gateway ---> Desktop (Slackware)
-- or if at home --
Code:
Internet ---> [router/gateway] ---> Desktop (Slackware)

-------------> Laptop (NetBSD)
I want to control the Desktop from the Laptop. Besides just raw running, I'd like to be able to tunnel audio fom the Desktop to the Laptop, and if possible be able to open a local file from the remote machine -- particular be able to load a CD/DVD on the Laptop and be able to read it on the Desktop.
I can ssh into the Desktop and I can even run X programs through ssh. I can't figure out how to pipe sound or open local files with remote programs.
