I''ve looked at the official UPnP/Shorewall page, but I''m not really sure if it''s talking about what I want to do, or exactly how to configure it if it is. :) I have my servers on one subnet (192.168.100.1/eth1 on the firewall), and my normal machines on another subnet (192.168.150.1/eth2.150 on the firewall) (there''s also another subnet for restricted computes, but that doesn''t matter for this since they shouldn''t be seeing the stuff anyway). I have a MythTV box setup on the server subnet, which supports UPnP access for media browsing/playback. I would like to be able to see it from the machines on the normal subnet so UPnP capable devices like my N900 can see it and watch the media on it. Is this possible? If so, what is the proper way to configure shorewall/upnpd so the devices will see the UPnP server and be able to use it? Thanks. Mark II -- Mark D.

Linux-igd (which is what Shorewall''s UPnP support is based on) implements a UPnP "Internet Gateway Device". UPnP capable clients can discover the gateway and open holes in the gateway for incoming connections. That''s very different from what you are trying to do which sounds to me as though it requires some sort of proxy running on the Shorewall box. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.

That''s kind of the impression I got, but I wasn''t sure. It''s not a big deal since I can just toss up a UPnP server on the normal LAN somewhere and have it feed the media collection. I just wanted to take advantage of the one built into MythTV if it was possible.> > -TomMark II> -- > Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who > Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.

It''s a easy confusion with such a wide ranging spec under a single common term. b. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev
