Yes, that's what those of us running pixory at home
do.

Yes, you have to forward tcp port 8081 from the router
to the actual ip address of the machine that is
actually running pixory.  I have set up my home lan to
assign fixed ip addresses to each of the machines on
my lan, so that I can reliably port forward to my
Pixory machine. My particular router (Buffalo) allows
the DHCP built into the router to assign specific ip
addresses to specific machines based on the address
(MAC) of the ethernet card in the lan machine. Or you
could statically assign an ip address to the pixory
machine yourself.

Bottom line: you must forward tcp port 8081 to the ip
address of the machine that runs pixory. If you type
'ipconfig' at a command prompt on the pixory machine
(that's for windows, 'ifconfig' for linux), it shows
the ip address that should be the destination of the
port forward assignment in the router.

good luck,

joe
