Thanks for your responses. After spending more time on their website, <sarcasm> I discovered their "Any-Firewall-Whitepaper" where it states that I actually don't have a problem since their technology works transparent to firewalls and NAT.</sarcasm>
Lynn, you are correct. There are some high UDP ports, but according to their white-paper, these are only "outgoing" connections. Since it's a peer-to-peer connection, I'm not sure how both parties can have outgoing connections, and no incoming connections...but its obviously some highly advanced technology! What's my exposure when opening those TCP and UDP ports? I'm VERY new to iptables, so be gentle. Thanks, Sean Snip----------------------- The solution was posted on their website. Apparently by default it uses dynamic UDP and TCP but there is a static port patch for v2.2 located here: http://www.eyeballchat.com/download/patches/fixed_ports_patch22.reg Then you need to open up these ports: - UDP ports 5700, 5701 and 5702 and - TCP ports 5500 and 5501. Eyeball Chat should then work correctly. snip------------------------------- I use an app, EyeBall chat, to video chat to relatives. > It worked just fine under Dachstein.

Snip----------------------------------------------- I would imagine that since it worked with Dachstein, there was probably some high port UDP traffic that iptables stops with conntrack (statefule connection tracking). -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Firewall Project developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
