[maemo-developers] netstat and firewalls

[From: Geordie Millar]

What is the specific IP? It may be a multicast IP for various things like mDNS.

Also are you sure port 67xxx is correct? TCP/UDP ports are numbered from 1 (technically 0)-65535.

As for security considerations: I don't think the N900 actually has any running externally accessible services that it needs to firewall off (that said, I'm remembering from OS2008, my N900 hasn't actually arrived yet).
