Google Now voice search firewall issue?

[bryanlakatos]

If I try to use Google Now's voice search on the wifi at work, all I get after it listens to me speak is "Recognizing..." for about 5-10 seconds, then it just goes back to "Tap mic to start speaking." If I do this on cellular data, or my wifi at home, Google Now works fine, which makes me think this is a firewall issue at work. Anyone found any information yet for this new service yet about required ports or the like?

Cell reception is spotty in my building at work (that's why I use the wifi there), so I'd love to figure out the issue.

Update: I just moved my GN to a subnet that has all ports open and the Google Now voice search worked fine, so it's definitely a firewall/port issue. Anyone else running into this?

Of course, got the answer to this question over on xda-developers RIGHT after I hit submit here. The solution is to open port 14259. The xda responder give the ip of 74.125.142.192 if you really need to tighten down the firewall.

Hope this helps someone!

That's actually very helpful information for me, thank you.
