Curioso!

My EyeHome is connected to the Ethernet port of my Powerbook with Internet sharing enabled to the Airport. This provides access to the Internet, but not to other computers on my LAN. In order to reach my iMac, I added a reverse proxy to /etc/httpd /httpd.conf:

• Uncomment

  #LoadModule proxy_module       libexec/httpd/libproxy.so
  

  and

  #AddModule mod_proxy.c
  

• Add these lines

  Listen 8001
  <VirtualHost *:8001>
      ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.30:8000/
  </VirtualHost>
  

  where 192.168.1.30 is the IP address of my iMac

This forwards HTTP requests to port 8001 of my Powerbook to port 8000 of my iMac (where EyeHome is running).

It appears that instead of the EyeHome software on Mac, you can also run the Neuston Media Center software on Linux or Windows. Update: not really, apparently the EyeHome and the Neuston Media Center are distinguishable by the server.

The EyeHome is a TV settop box that provides access from a television set to EyeTV recordings, movies, pictures and music stored on a Mac. Information on the web is sparse, but I did find some useful links:
