well, if you haven't install / setup firewall, maybe your distro did for you? If it's ipchains, then you could issue 'ipchains -L' and see if there is a rule there that opens 5353 (assuming the policy is a white list - reject all except listed). I have no idea about other firewalls. _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
