The SB2 is wireless and also in ethernet bridge mode for an xbox, although that's not being used in this case.
No hardware firewall involved. Sharing seems to have changed in Leopard from what I've read - I didn't use Tiger so can't comment first hand but the Leopard firewall is application based and doesn't give you the options to open specific ports like the old one did. If the GUI isn't lying it's disabled. The music's on a separate NAS but I don't think things are getting far enough for that to be a problem. Basically after scrolling down on the SB2 display to select the mac server I press right on the remote to connect. That's when things disappear into a black hole. No clock, no menus and "unable to connect" if I leave it long enough. The SB2 was at firmware 81 but I downgraded it to the one that came with 6.4 to see if that was a problem. No change. The servers I've tried on the Mac are the release 6.5.4 and the last daily 6.5.5, both give the same result. Thanks for the firewall hints though. Next things I'm going to try (tomorrow): - Wire the SB2 in directly to eliminate the wireless - Take another look at the sharing settings - could be that I need to enable file sharing even though the files aren't actually on that drive - See about opening those specific ports. There must be a hack somewhere even if it's not in the GUI.
