Just opening port 1900 (udp) doesn't seem to be enough. This is true of all control points and renderers that I've tried. I've looked at firewall logs but failed to determine what the problem is. One of life's little mysteries....

Are you saying that my discovery problem might be caused by having a firewall enabled? I haven't done this intentionally. Does Ubuntu enable a firewall by default?

In a terminal window try:

Code:

sudo ufw status

It should tell you if the firewall is enabled or not. To disable it:

Code:

sudo ufw disable

and 'enable' to turn it back on. There's a graphical version called gufw.
