Yes.

I got this:

VDR:~ # telnet localhost 2001
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

I thinks it works, see above.
I got the following messages in the /var/log/messages

Jun 14 14:23:54 VDR vdr[973]: connect from 127.0.0.1, port 32897 - accepted
Jun 14 14:25:30 VDR vdr[973]: closing SVDRP connection
Jun 14 14:28:20 VDR vdr[973]: connect from 192.168.32.14, port 32898 -
DENIED

It seems that the connection from the 192.168.32.14 address (the address of
my VDR) is blocked. Why?
How can i fix this?


Regards, Niko
