The main problem was that firestarter drop all multicast by default and there is no option about this in the gui. You need to edit /etc/firestarter/user-pre and add : $IPT -A INPUT -s 224.0.0.0/8 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A INPUT -s 0/0 -d 224.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A OUTPUT -s 224.0.0.0/8 -d 0/0 -j ACCEPT $IPT -A OUTPUT -s 0/0 -d 224.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT to negate the lines in the firewall script. I think it's a pity for firestarter to have this and i fill in a bug in bugzilla about this. Eric
