[nos-bbs] rip broadcasts in jnos

[Boudewijn (Bob) Tenty]

#2

It is most likely blocked in the rogers router.  You can see that normally by monitoring the Internet traffic before the firewall and after it.

By the way, the user himself can configure the firewall settings with the Rogers Xfinity App, he can also do it locally with a Web browser by

navigating to 10.0.0.1 (Hitron 192.168.0.1) of his router. According to Google, the  Xfinity and Hitron models can pass IPENCAP protocol 4 provided it is properly

configured. So he should check it.

His situation, as I understand it, seems more like a streaming service -- his box has his TV stuff and other services on it, and he has to contact Rogers to do things like turn on/off DMZ, and access other network functions.

His set-up in jnos is identical to mine, and his set-up at the portal is identical to mine. I receive the rip broadcasts, and he does not. Both of us are using raspberry pi's, and both are running headless (ssh in to start jnos).
