Actually, on further thought, I've come to the conclusion I haven't got a clue about this. From the point of view of SuSEfirewall2 running on this computer (which is running the minidlna server), my router *is* an external device. So what I want is DLNA traffic to pass unimpeded from this machine, through the router to the Bluray player/TV, without being exposed to the *real* outside world. That is, the internet cannot see that ports 8200 and 1900 are open.
I need to do some homework.
/sbin/iptables -F /sbin/ip6tables -F
etc, etc. Many thanks for this Noel. I can't pretend to understand it yet, but as I said, more homework needed. As an amateur, hobbyist computer user, I really appreciate the help provided here by those who have worked 'in the trade' all their lives. I also like your point about NAT not providing security after a move to ipv6 provision, in your reply to Togan.
