I have an XP box on which I wish to play sound from a linux box. The XP box has a very restrictive firewall, I already tunnel out of the XP box to allow VNC, ssh, etc. access inwards using putty i.e. something like below for VNC plink -pw password -R5906:XP_IP_ADDRESS:5906 -l unixlogin linuxbox I have looked through all the docu8mentation of pulseaudio and can't find a reference to which ports I would need to tunnel, anyone done this, any ideas? thanks for your help Tom Ward
