I haven't used Suse for a long time either but allowing broadcast is what I had to do upon installation. Firewall has changed since I last used it ( I used to use an iptables command) However reading through current setup - the suggestion in blue is to allow broadcast to External (_EXT) networks (i.e. not on local LAN) whereas the issue Jerome has is to allow broadcast from Internal network players is not working so that is why I suggest checking FW_ALLOW_FW_BROADCAST_INT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105358 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
