I'm trying to figure out a good solution for my desktop to work with my server for applications like kTorrent, where I need to be able to accept new connections so that I can fully-participate (instead of just leech off of) in Torrent traffic. UPNP seems to be a good answer to this, but I haven't setup UPNP on Linux before.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_UPnP_with_IPTables I noticed the URL above on how to do UPNP via linux-igd, but I'm not sure that's what I want. I searched emerge for UPNP and saw a number of packages in the list. I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience (good/bad/otherwise) on setting up a Gentoo-based ipTables Firewall for UPNP, or what packages people might recommend for it. While I am mostly concerned with having kTorrent work on my Gentoo Desktop, I might also be interested in using BitTorrent on a Win2k Laptop too - I don't know if it supports UPnP or not (possible), but if it was easy to support, I might be inclined to. (If not, no big loss.) So I'd welcome thoughts on that as well towards the above questions. TIA, Ben -- [email protected] mailing list
