Thanks a lot for your explanation.

I am behind NAT, yes ... it was simply my fault back then to chose this
weird network, I just didn't look up things correctly ...

Editing my DHCP-server wouldn't be much effort, sure, but I run various
IPSEC-tunnels which would have to be reconfigured on the other end of
the tunnels ... this change would trigger lots of things, so I prefer to
just find that one (tiny?) database-edit to make that frontend listen ...

I also read of people port-forwarding this via SSH, so that they are
able to connect to the frontend listening on localhost only. Now that I
have ssh running on the minimyth-FE I could try that as well.

I didn't expect that my wrong choice of LAN would hit me when setting up
a remote control ;-)

thanks, Stefan
