The task is to access/connect-to Pyro objects on computer A (Pyro's name servers are broadcasting both tcp and udp packets on port 9090), from computer B which is across the internets. I made a set of tunnels connecting A & B with autossh on 7766 & 9090 (the ports Pyro uses out of the box) which didn't seem to do the trick. My next thought was to create a vpn using pptpd outlined here - http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=132029 - but with limited networking experience I don't know if Pyro's dns packets will be broadcast onto that subnet. I would appreciate any input regarding how to approach this problem. A hardware solution is not out of the question if it makes things simple. Key word here is KISS - Keep it Stupid Simple.
