I considered it. However, another computer in my internal home network, running Debian Sid, plays streams through xmms perfectly, this shows my router (running Debian testing) is okay as far as the router/masquarading firewall rules are concerned. I then thought about the iptables rules I have on my desktop. I 'stopped' iptables on my desktop so that all policies were ACCEPT(i.e. nothing being blocked by my computer's firewall) and still xmms showed the same problem. So it looks like firewall is not the issue here. ->HS -- Please remove the underscores ( the '_' symbols) from my email address to obtain the correct one.
