Have I got it the wrong way around and 42000-49500 is the source port range at the remote end? If so, what's the destination port, i.e. the port on your machine? And is it definitely TCP? There should be a process listening on it. I see you have Sun RPC running. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmap Is that because you use NFS or something? What protocols does that know about? What's the output of sudo -i rpcinfo -p -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2024-01-02 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
