I'm inserting an Amazon FireStick (Android-based) into my lan. All SW firewall/routing/etc is done on a linux box for my LAN.
The FireStick needs to communicate with a server @ 10.1.1.101 on my lan. The target's got fwd/reverse DNS setup, host target.lan.loc target.lan.loc has address 10.1.1.101 host 10.1.1.101 101.1.1.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer target.lan.loc. It's pingable from any/all Linux boxes on my LAN. On the FireStick it's pingable via IP, $ ping 10.1.1.101 PING 10.1.1.101 (10.1.1.101) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 10.1.1.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=2.38 ms 64 bytes from 10.1.1.101: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=77.2 ms ... --- 10.1.1.101 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.387/39.836/77.286/37.450 ms But NOT via its hostname, which DOES apparently resolve to the IP, $ ping target.lan.loc PING target.lan.loc (10.1.1.101) 56(84) bytes of data. ... --- target.lan.loc ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 8005ms Logging & diags are a challenge on the Stick ... no root :-/ 1st Q -- is there additional, explicit SW rule/config/helper/etc I need? I _suspect_ this is NOT a firewall issue ... _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
