I connected my satellite tv box (Dish) to my network and it makes a
udp connection to some server on port 2049.
I thought this was nfs. Anybody know what the rest of this story is? I
mean, why nfs??? |

I don't have Dish and I don't work for Dish, so I can't be authoritative
about what Dish is doing. But ...
They could be using udp/2049 for any protocol. If you can sniff the
connection with something like wireshark, do the dissectors say it's
valid nfs? |

I'll try using tcpdump. I don't have wireshar. |

You'll have be to pretty verbose with tcpdump, -vv at least, and capture
the whole packet with -s 0. Even so, see if you can try out Wireshark
(previously known as Ethereal). It's pretty handy for digging around
inside captured packets. |
