Sounds like you've opened some of the dynamic ports in the 30000 to 60000 range, where you may strike lucky if your server frequently reuses the same dynamic ports. Airplay doesn't need port 80 and should need anything uPnP although some routers can do intelligent port forwarding - I avoid this as you never know if the ports get shut again. My work around allows the dynamic traffic by working out the route from the reverse, know the fixed destination that the receiver uses (6000-6005 and 5000-5005). I limit to only the protocols I know are required. I prefer not to have a swiss cheese of a firewall where I can avoid it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ atca's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56880 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105198 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
