[Cerowrt-devel] port forwarding and upnp and the xbox

[Dave Taht]

I'm still not sure if the fixes that have landed in
http://www.bufferbloat.net/issues/362 address the problem this guy is
trying to solve:

http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1187617#p23539309

I am glad to see clue has almost entirely arrived on arstechnica
(who's Ars Praetorian?)

So IF I get the fixes on that bug into the next release are we going
to work right? what else regarding upnp and dlna are going to
break/still broken?

I'm under the impression several people here have already hacked
working upnp into cerowrt. Does this work with the xbox?

Are there any xbox games that run over ipv6? (does the xbox have ipv6?)

(subtle thought - christmas is coming for multiple kids I can experiment on)

I can't speak for the XBox, but Windows 7 port-forwards nicely using the
trondah miniupnpd/minissdpd packages and the configuration changes in
#362.  So far, both Skype and Teredo are working on my hardware.  I skipped
adding minidlna for now.  It may be useful for serving videos from the
router, but it has many more dependencies and I have nothing that is
DLNA-compatible and not a full-blown computer (in which case I can use SMB
instead*).


* As a side note, Samba seems to have a couple of issues in Sugarland.
First, it appears to ignore WINS registrations from Windows 7 at least.
You can still get cross-subnet browsing from Samba listening to
broadcasts.  The second is that trying to run "smbpasswd -a username"
results in a segfault.  Maybe a local user of the same name is necessary...
