speaking of firewalls... i repeatedly installed and uninstalled, etc., etc., the FC2 RPMs courtesy of http://osl.cpe.ku.ac.th and Sugree Phatanapherom yum instructions by way of Michael Miller. Thanks Sugree! but i could't even get a videoConsumer to run, let alone RAT. huh? very frustrating, but no monitors broken ;^)
as i was reading the XP firewall thread it dawned on me that the FedoraCore2 firewall interface had been simplified to ON/OFF. i disabled it and RAT came up and my videoConsumer started receiving streams... since i'd prefer to have a semblance of a firewall, i just have to learn how to set up iptables to allow the right range of tcp/udp ports access. i'd appreciate any pointers ;^) --fred
