I'm trying to figure out a good solution for my desktop to work with my |
2 |
server for applications like kTorrent, where I need to be able to accept |
3 |
new connections so that I can fully-participate (instead of just leech |
4 |
off of) in Torrent traffic. UPNP seems to be a good answer to this, but |
5 |
I haven't setup UPNP on Linux before. |

I noticed the URL above on how to do UPNP via linux-igd, but I'm not |
10 |
sure that's what I want. I searched emerge for UPNP and saw a number of |
11 |
packages in the list. I was wondering if anyone here has had any |
12 |
experience (good/bad/otherwise) on setting up a Gentoo-based ipTables |
13 |
Firewall for UPNP, or what packages people might recommend for it. |
14 |
|
15 |
While I am mostly concerned with having kTorrent work on my Gentoo |
16 |
Desktop, I might also be interested in using BitTorrent on a Win2k |
17 |
Laptop too - I don't know if it supports UPnP or not (possible), but if |
18 |
it was easy to support, I might be inclined to. (If not, no big loss.) |
19 |
So I'd welcome thoughts on that as well towards the above questions. |
