More Filters for non-Apple-GUI Firewalls
Authored by: tbmaddux on Apr 10, '03 09:35:40AM
If like me you use a 3rd-party interface to 'ipfw' (such as BrickHouse) instead of the Firewall tab of the Sharing preference pane, you will need to allow UDP packets from source port 5353 and multicasts to 224.0.0.251 to allow Rendezvous (not iChat) to work. Examples:

add 2006 allow udp from any 5353 to any keep-state via en0

add 2007 allow all from any to 224.0.0.251 keep-state via en0

More Filters for non-Apple-GUI Firewalls
Authored by: jazz153 on Apr 26, '03 08:56:20PM

I am using a third-party firewall. When I attempt to send IM's, nothing is
ever received, nor can I receiving anything. My firewall is currently set
to pass information from selected IP addresses. Should I then be setting
up a new port for this purpose? How much control do I have regarding
who I wish to see me online? Help anyone?
