Found the answer to my firewall question
It's on the slimserver help at
http://tinyurl.com/2an6m4 and I quote: Macintosh OS X 10.4: You will have to create a new exception in the built-in firewall to allow the Squeezebox to connect to Slim Server. To do this: Open System Preferences -> Sharing, and click 'Firewall' Click 'New...' to create a new rule For 'Port Name:' specify 'Other' For 'TCP Port Number(s):' specify '3483, 9000' For 'UDP Port Number(s):' specify '3483' For 'Description:', specify 'SlimServer' Click [OK], and ensure that your new exception is checked on.
Clarifying Slimserver firewall requirements
If all you want to do is to listen via iTunes or some other program capable of connecting to the MP3 stream, then only port 9000 needs to be open on the firewall. Slimserver also comes with a free Java emulation of a Squeezebox, called Softsqueeze (also available separately). If you wish to use Softsqueeze to listen to your music then port 3483 is also required to be open, but you then don't need to use the web interface.
Support for Leopard 10.5?
Any way to do this in Leopard? I can't quite seem to figure out the configuration for the firewall settings using Leopard and my Airport Extreme. |
