I work 100% from home, and utilize the Juniper VPN to connect to my work LAN. Using a handy program (www.subsonic.de), I'm able to stream music from my personal computer to my work computer via a web browser while on the VPN. The VPN isn't very fast and at times there is a bit of playback lag. If at all possible I'd like to route music through my LAN and not have it touch the VPN. Is this possible?
I'm open to either accessing the music via a Windows Explorer type interface or the current Subsonic web setup. My work computer OS is WinXP Pro and home WinXP Home if it makes a difference. I'm just starting to explore the world of Linux and wouldn't be opposed to repurposing another existing computer with a recommended distro if it makes this any easier.
My situation is a little different than most I've read, as people are generally at work and want to break out of their LAN to connect to a home computer. Both my computers are in the same house, just a couple rooms away from one another, so physically connecting them with a crossover cable (assuming I have 2 NICs in each machine) is possible, as well as adding USB wifi adapters to each.
I've researched split tunneling, routing traffic through multiple NICs, pushing specific traffic through the wired ethernet port and other traffic through a wifi connection, setting up proxies and and haven't come up with a clear solution.
I'm very much open to suggestions, so please fire away.
