I wonder if there's a bit of confusion about terminology here which doesn't come across well in the wiki? The wiki entry (at least on my reading) is only talking about "port forwarding".
I have never had port forwarding (i.e. opening up a port in my router to the internet) for those ports to make Slimserver work on my internal network (using Belkin and Netgear routers). I do have an exception for those ports in my firewall (have used a variety such as Zone Alarm, AVG and Windows Firewall), so that if my SB sends something internally to those ports the firewall knows to let it through on my internal network. As you say, it must be something about your particular set up, but my understanding is as the wiki - i.e. you will normally need to make an exception for those ports in any firewall which operates on your internal network, but don't need to open those ports up to the outside world on your router. -- Siduhe ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Siduhe's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=723 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36594 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
