You're really milking it noiw Simon

[jimc]

[Technical Ben]

We will have to wait till the cows come home.

[pctech]

I'm sure they're on the case.

[Rik]

They were short-staffed today.

[cavillas]

They were short-staffed today.

We do not block, shape or throttle and ports.

The originator's router is incorrectly configured to broadcast this data. The recipient's router should be configured to block such broadcasts.

jimc: Thanks for providing the IP address that you can see, we'll contact the originator to let them know.

[Technical Ben]

Thanks Simon. The internet is almost like a hidden pipe. You cannot see when it leaks.

[jimc]

Does that mean that everyone else should be able to see his DLNA ?

surely that would be the case if he has a config error ?

best regards
Jim

PS dont tell him until I have watched all his movies

[Rik]

I'm guessing so, Jim, but I don't know. Hopefully, Simon will spot this and comment.

[pctech]

Perhaps those on the same subnet can

[Simon_idnet]

You really want your router to firewall out these sorts of broadcast packets so that they don't reach you.

Crikey, Rik, the old clairvoyance is working well today! 

[pctech]

Probably more the direct line to IDNet.

Crikey, Rik, the old clairvoyance is working well today! 

Well, Claire Rayner can't.

[Simon]

Sadly...

[Rik]

Indeed.

[Glenn]

Welcome the one and only "Mysterious Rik"

[Rik]

I prefer Magnificent.

[jimc]

so what sort of broadcast's should our routers block Simon ?

best regards
JIm

[pctech]

This would involve blocking ports, I'm currently looking for info for you.

[pctech]

Do you have uPNP enabled on your router Jim, best advice I've come across so far is to use uPnP and make sure you set the hop count to 2.
