If you have a firewall with a UPNP option selectable in it, as some home modem/routers do, then that does the trick. Of course, allowing just anything through, and for it to be programmable from outside of the firewall, more-or-less defeats the purpose of having a firewall. As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to do that sort of thing, you may as well drop your firewall rules inside the LAN, completely. Either way, you want to ensure that rules about external traffic are robust. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.2.0-32-powerpc64-smp #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 23:20:22 UTC 2012 ppc64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
