Let me try this again.
Hi, Yesterday I found myself trying to get a couple of services/applications working on my Mac that require me to allow access to ports and seemingly complex setup options. I first was trying to set up an application called Ootunes that enables you to stream your iTunes library from computers or web enabled devices away from your home computer. I plan on streaming it to my iPhone but the problem is with setting everything up on my Mac. In this case, Ootunes has a test program you can run that checks if you can access your network computer from outside. The test failed saying it could not access port 1972 and because my firewall blocked access. In the second situation I was trying to set up off-site backup through Mozy. The instructions said I needed to forward a port but I am unsure of how to do this as well. I'm thinking that in the first, if not both cases, the fact that I have the firewall in the OS plus the firewall on my wireless Apple Airport Express running in addition to being behind the actual modem is causing problems. I went in to security and allowed access for all applications but it still would not pass the testing for Ootunes. Does anyone have experience with this and would they be able to offer some help either via email or off list? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
