I'm trying to configure my iptables
in order to allow Pidgin
to use Bonjour
protocol, now according to: Bonjour for Windows doesn't work due to firewall settings, I have to allow Multicast DNS / (5353/udp)
.
[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon)
[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ uname -a
Linux wcmisdlin02.uftmasterad.org 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 16 11:21:38 CDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ sudo iptables -L | grep mdns
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW udp dpt:mdns
[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$ grep '5353/udp' /etc/services
mdns 5353/udp # Multicast DNS
[alexus@wcmisdlin02 ~]$
I'm still unable to communiate w/ others through Bonjour
even though iptables
is configured. Any ideas why?
