Re-enable iTunes sharing outside local subnet
Authored by: turkchgo on Jan 15, '04 01:45:04PM
The answer to this riddle is correct by ecammit above, the problem seems to be that having similar names or having "share my music" running on the copy of iTunes you're trying to connect from blocks the beacon from working.

So for example, if your WORK copy of iTunes is sharing music and you're trying to connect to your HOME computer by spoofing/proxying a local Rendezvous beacon, your WORK computer is going to override the machine you're trying to connect to.

Once I turned "share my music" OFF on my work computer, I could load the library of my home computer no problem. And I was having the same problem as everyone else, I could see the beacon share, but iTunes would just sit there spinning trying to load the shared library from home. As soon as I turned sharing off on the work computer, the home computer's library loaded lickity split.
