Hi
You'll need to check your Ip Settings, too.
If your router accidentialy sets your Ipod's Ip in the wrong way it cannot work. Im using an iPod Touch 2G (3.0), iTunes 8.2.1.6 on a Vista Computer.
In examples:
1)
Computer Ip: 192.168.178.5
Ipod/Phone Ip: 192.168.1.7
When this kind of ip constellation occurs, you'll need to make at least one Ip Static to match the others first three numbers.
So:
2)
Computer Ip: 192.168.178.5
Ipod/Phone Ip: 192.168.178.8
This or any other constellation can be used for your connection (notice the last number needs to be different for each Ip!). Also your Subnet Mask needs to match, they need to be the same (like 255.255.255.0).
Btw. You can always set your Computers Ip to a static one, you just need to know what Ip/Subnet Mask/Default Gateway/Preffered DNS Server codes your Router uses. You can easily find that out through watching at your automatically given adress format and then just use this for your static Ip, that is, of course, if you are using a Router to connect to the internet.
(I recommend to always use a static Ip when using a Home Network + it will fix eventual Ip issues like the Remote App issue)
Last but not least check your Firewall settings (iTunes should be allowed as well as remote services, I recommend to turn your firewall off for testing purposes though). Also check for other programs that might block incoming remote actions (like virus protection programs etc., eventually also turn them off for testing purposes)
I hope even though my english is rubbish I was able to explain how the Remote App is most likely going to work from my experiences.
Hope this helps... 🙂
