Hm.

Seen from the client machine you will need outgoing access to 5064/TCP (data connection), 5064/UDP outgoing and incoming (name resolution), and 5065/UDP incoming (server beacons). Timeouts are usually caused by the name resolution mechanism not working properly. Can you run wireshark to see if the outgoing name requests and/or the incoming answers are blocked?

Good luck!

Hi - I'd like to have a firewall configured on my linux system but when I turn it on then I get a timeout when accessing EPICS variables on a remote system. I thought it would be sufficient to enable TCP and UDP access on ports 5064 and 5065, since I'm running with a "standard" EPICS build on the latest release. Can anyone suggest what else I need to set in a firewall configuration to allow EPICS to work?

Thanks, Chris Jacobsen
