[Elecraft] K2 Remote via the Internet

Sun Mar 2 13:31:00 2003

I concur with Pat, plus a couple of other comments.

If you want to enable your setup to be accessed remotely by name, then use
the services from someone like www.dyndns.org. They will grant you a name
that you can use to attach to your home setup, even if the home setup IP
address changes.The name will be something like m3cjf_remote_k2.homedns.org

Also, you can nearly always configure your home firewall to allow a route in
from the outside to your K2 server. Some firewalls will even work with
dynamic DNS servers such as dyndns.org and update your ISP's granted IP
Address.

I would also recommend that you use a PC that does not matter if it gets
trashed from an outside intruder. If I have a PC configured in this way, I
pre-save my disk onto CDs using Ghost, so it is a matter of minutes to
restore the PC back to it's pristeen state.

I do this kind of stuff all the time, if anyone wants more info or
clarification, just email me.

Regards,

Tony
