[slim] ports, firewall, and server discovery
What ports are used for server discovery? I live in a cohousing community, we have our own networking. My home is on its own network, and I have the community network in a DMZ. I currently have the following ports 'open' TCP: 3483, 9000, 9090 UDP: 3483 Using SqueezeCommander and SqueezePlayer, I can connect to my server manually, but, if possible, I'd like to get auto discovery working. I know it works if I just connect my server directly to my community network, but I'd prefer to keep some firewall protection. Is there another port I need to open to get auto discovery to work? Something else?

Re: [slim] ports, firewall, and server discovery
Afaik udp 3483 is the auto discovery port , and it is broadcasted . If you firewall or NAT it in a router or similar you may have to port forward to the server machine , if the fw is on the server just open those ports . Normally for auto discovery to work server and squeezebox should be on the same network .

Re: [slim] ports, firewall, and server discovery
UDP broadcast needs to work, that may be the problem here. pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96929 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] ports, firewall, and server discovery
Sounds like it. And broadcast doesn't get forwarded across subnets. I know a way around this with cisco gear, but not with snapgear (basically linux). Ah, well... BTW I would -guess- this works like a lot of other services (e.g. DHCP, DNS) where the broadcast comes from the (soon to be) client; response comes from servers that hear the request; server selects a responding server based on some criteria. bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96929 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
