I have followed this tutorial on how to forward growl notifications from a PC to mac http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/help/forwarding.aspx specifically the forward to mac section, and it is not working. I have set all the settings exactly as they explained in the tutorial. I enabled the debug logging on the PC and it says that the growl is successfully being sent to the other machine. Here is an excerpt from the beginning of the log file
Timestamp: 9/27/2011 11:59:45 PM Notification Origin: 127.0.0.1 [LOCAL MACHINE] Displayed using '[Default]' (TranslucentDark) Forwarding to mbp (UDP 192.168.11.5:9887) I am using the UDP protocol on port 9887 as required to send to the mac. I believe the problem to be on the mac side. I made sure that the mac firewall was off and I checked list of open internet files using lsof -i and i get the following for the growlhelp app GrowlHelp 443 home 5u IPv6 0xffffff80172738c0 0t0 UDP *:9887 GrowlHelp 443 home 8u IPv4 0xffffff8016cd25e8 0t0 TCP *: 23052 (LISTEN) It looks like growlhelp is listening on the TCP port when it should be listening on the UDP port. I couldn't find any way to change this in the growl settings so I was wondering if there was any way to switch the listening port to 9887. I also tried sending a message on port 23052 (which is weird because windows says the GNTP protocol uses 23053) and 23053 but it did not work either. Can anyone offer any help? Thanks! P.S. specs of the machines: Sending machine: Windows 7 Pro desktop running Growl 2.0.7.2 Receiving machine: Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 running Growl 1.2.2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Growl Discuss" group.
