NB: This is NOT a top posting list. hanpingtian@xxxxxxxxx: > even I close the iptables, NM cannot get IP address from avahi. What do you mean by "close the iptables"? If you stop the iptable services, then the firewall is disabled, and all traffic should be allowed. But if you try to disable the firewall using the configuration gadget's disable option, it doesn't actually disable the firewall (it's broken). Alternatively, one can issue manual iptables rules on the command line, and flush the rules away. If you have managed to turn off your firewall, then you should be able to check using the iptables command. You'll get an output like this: [root@gonzales ~]# iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination With the default policy being to accept traffic, and no rules to the contrary. For what it's worth, I had a bit of a fiddle around the other day, and didn't get avahi working no matter what I tried. I'm sure that I haven't exhausted all the possible things to try, but all the obvious things didn't get me anywhere. Also, for what it's worth, a firewall really shouldn't stop a computer from assigning itself an IP address using the zeroconf scheme. In this scheme, the computer will assign itself a random address if no DHCP server gave it one, and it will probe around on the network to check that it's not assigning itself the same address as something else. It should still be able to assign itself an address even if there are no other computers on the network at the time. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
