Anybody have further thoughts on this? I can't see anything causing a problem. It worked yesterday, today it doesn't. And when I last fiddled with this, maybe 3 weeks ago, I couldn't get it to work. Frankly, I don't know why it worked yesterday, that seems to be the anomally, unfortunately. It usually hangs at "connecting to library".
Mac Mini Intel Core Duo
iPod Touch 16GB (1st gen)
Actiontec DSL modem, GT701-WG (standard Qwest with g wireless)
OSX 10.4.11, with all updates including last week's
iPod and modem: also most current firmware
Firewall: Off
iTunes: set to look for remotes, and set to open at boot since it is my server for the house
Airport Express: set only for Airtunes for remote speakers
I can get to the internet on the iPod. I can use iSilo's funky ftp system to access my Mac. It's just Remote that fails of all the apps I have that are networkable.
Oh, and the iTunes server always works with a laptop, and the Airtunes work if I physically use the Mini to play. Just Remote fails. It's starting to piss me off, I wouldn't have bothered with the Express if I didn't have the iPod and Remote.
I even try deleting the library from Remote and setting it up again. iTunes instantly recognizes it every time. But it still won't connect once set up.
