Sorry for reposting this as I didn't receive any hints so far . Apologies!! List, I have a FreeBSD-10 server box running on 10.184.0.37 IP Address and a Debian Desktop running on 10.184.39.120 I installed mediatomb in my FreeBSD10 box (Recompiled the kernel with option MROUTING for multicast support. I am not sure whether the FreeBSD-10 installation supports Multicast out of box. So I recompiled the Kernel with MROUTING option.) I referred this link for Installing Mediatomb on FreeBSD ==> virtuallyhyper.com/2012/10/installing-mediatomb-on-freebsd-9-and-connecting-to-it-with-xbmc-from-a-fedora-17-os/ Mediatomb installed on this box up and running I can point from Desktop m/c browser to the URL http://my_server_ip:49152 showing the mediatomb html page .. But I can't get the Mediatomb server detected by the UPnP inspector from my Desktop PC. Here my Desktop PC is on 10.184.39.120 IP Address and My FreeBSD box with mediatomb server is in 10.184.0.37 IP Address. I suspect the UPnP inspector failed to find the mediatomb inspector due to they are on different subnets. A work around, that I am not very familiar with is to install OpenVPN server in freebsd box and OpenVPN client in my Desktop PC so as to make a Virtual network of the server and desktop pc on same subnet by using OpenVPN. ( http://mediatomb.cc/dokuwiki/faq:faq#my_upnp_player_can_not_see_mediatomb_what_is_wrong says to do the VPN tunneling) So I given a try.. I have done that and started OpenVPN in server box and OpenVPN client in Desktop PC I can see that from the ifconfig output of my server box the "tun0" interface is up with Multi cast support tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 options=80000<LINKSTATE> inet6 fe80::20e:cff:fee4:62c%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 inet 10.8.0.1 --> 10.8.0.2 netmask 0xffffffff nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL> Opened by PID 62158 And in Desktop pc I started the client by# openvpn --script-security 2 --config /etc/openvpn/client.conf I can see tun0 up here too. tun0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:10.8.0.6 P-t-P:10.8.0.5 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:3542 (3.4 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) I launch the UPnP inspector from the Desktop PC, Still it unable to show the mediatomb server in the UPnP Inspector.
