Use a Linux box as an iTunes music server
Authored by: Lemuel on Oct 22, '03 04:03:22PM

I don't get it working.
It compiles just fine (at least no errors).
My computer is named lacci and has the IP 192.168.0.1
I run Rendezvous with

./mDNSProxyResponderPosix 192.168.0.1 squeal "lacci" _daap._tcp. 3689

and get

Made Service Records for lacci._daap._tcp.local.
Service lacci._daap._tcp.local. now registered and active

On the daapd site I chose to use the default values (with a config file it didn't work either). This gives me

/home/lemuel/src/iTunes/daapd-0.2.1c/daapd
scanning . for mp3s... done.

But by room neighbour with iTunes on his Windows box does not see me there.
I ran both commands as root.
daapd is running, I cannot start it twice.
How can I look if the Rendezvous part is working?

What's wrong?

Sounds like you might have a firewall issue - or your neighbor does. Make sure you have the port 3689 open.

That's funny, I'm using a Linux box as a server, but on my windows machine I can see the shared music but not on my OSX machine. They are on the sam swicht and have no firewalls.

you're positive that the built in firewall in os x is turned off? that'd be the most likely point for a problem.

I'm sure my firewall is off. Strange thing is that I tried it on an other linux box and that one I can see from my windows and OSX machines.
