So maybe some one already solve this > problem and has correct rules for ipfw Napster uses port 6969 IIRC--check your configuration. If you want Napster to WORK, and you've set up a default deny firewall, just open the port: /sbin/ipfw add 10000 allow tcp from any to any 6969 You haven't told us what your firewall configuration is like. The above command is very much oversimplified, and is NOT a good example of a firewall config, but will work in most applications. Let us know what sort of filtering you have set up, and I or someone else can suggest a more accurate rule. Add a similar command to your firewall config so this change will persist after a reboot. Or, just configure Napster itself to talk on a different port. NB: Most network administrators go to great pains to BLOCK the napster port, or restrict bandwidth. I think this is the first time that I've seen anybody want to do the opposite on this list ;-) > > Thanks in advance > Radical > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Network Administrator, Accounts SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E - Saskatoon, SK - S7H 0W2 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-664-1161 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
