Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I am doing this in my spare free time and lately that's not very often. I found the problem. (tcpdump did help) Actually i did two things wrong. First i am using names for my interfaces so it's not eth0 but eth0:v41 for example. I had to remove that one. And then i had to change the configurations of the upnp servers from using eth0:v41 to eth0 (example). Now everything worked just fine. (both mediatomb and fuppes). Thanks again and have a nice day.
