Check ERRORS for problems. ntserv/solicit.c is the Metaserver solicitation code. It is supposed to say if anything goes wrong, even DNS lookup failures. It uses UDP on destination port 3521. I'd use tcpdump rather than iptables myself. tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -x udp port 3521 -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/ _______________________________________________ vanilla-devel mailing list vanilla-devel at us.netrek.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/vanilla-devel
