Hi All,
As I know, IB/FB use UDP protocol to dispatch events,
this is done using many random ports (one for every client)
and a random ETH adapter,
there is no way to change this...
If there is a firewall, more then one ETH card on server
IB/FB probably will hang.
Another reported tips is to not use DHCP for server.
There is no problem on IBX or any middle....this is
a IB/FB issue....
As I know there is a plan to let us configure the UDP port
range in a future FB version..
Ciao.
