As a starting point, I am attempting to discover services via SSDP. If I have the firewall enabled, and I run upnp-inspector, I see no services. No matter what combination of settings I have tried, I never see any services via upnp-inspector. If I disable the firewall and immediately rediscover services in upnp-inspector, I will instantly see my printers, my media server, etc. I wouldn't at all be surprised if the services didn't work without extra ports open, but I cannot even see them to attempt to use them.
It looks like upnp-inspector not only listens[1] on UDP port 1900, but on two other randomized ports as well. One solution would be to have upnp-inspector use the new firewalld API in Fedora 15 to open up ports automatically. Another solution would be to allow high TCP/UDP ports (say,>30000).

Ah! Thank you! That explains it. Now off to figure out why each individual application that I'm actually trying to use is having issues. Hopefully it will be as easy to figure out.
Thanks again Mike
