Hello Folks,

I am trying to get a SiliconDust internet TV card box to work with Opensuse
11.2, but am having firewall issues.

With the firewall turned off, the hdhomerun (Silicon dust software) configure
will detect the TV tuner and return it's
IP address and ID. With the firewall enabled the tuner is not detected as
expected.

I tried opening up the necessary ports and services but thhat did not work and
according to SiliconDust tech support
the tuner uses random high port on the PC so it is not possible to firewall
based on incoming ports. They suggest
that I allow all traffic to/from the HDHomeRun's IP address.

My question is how to best do this? I could not find how to do this with yast.
Do I need to directly edit iptables and if so, how?

Thanks,

Vahe
