OK. let's take it one step at a time. 

First, any squeezebox product needs to talk with a squeezeboxserver
(SbS). There are basically two ways to do this.  One is to run a local
version of SbS. A second approach is to connect to the "network"
version of Sbs, which is now called "mysqueezebox.com" (mysb.com). If
you are using the network, mysqueezebox.com approach, you can only do
things like listen to internet radio, pandora, etc. You can't listen to
your own music files if strictly connected to mysb.com. So I assume you
want to listen to your own music. But even if using your local SbS,
you'll still need to sign up for a mysb.com account. Within your local
computer SbS, you'll need to add those credentials (SbS > Settings >
mysqueezebox.com tab). 

The Touch does add a twist. The "local" SbS can now either be on a
computer within your home network or the TOUCH itself runs a "limited"
version of the SbS server. I don't have a TOUCH yet, but you should
just have to plug your USB drive into the TOUCH and give it some time
to scan the drive adding the tracks to the internal SbS system.

You can switch back and forth to (1) mysb.com (2) SbS on your local
network computer or (3) SbS on the Touch. No need for (1) because as
long as you are running SbS locally (own computer or the touch) you get
all the same mysb.com stuff.

It sounds like you are trying to use the internal SbS software on the
touch AND you've installed SbS on a local computer. Make a decision
about which approach you prefer. Using the internal touch SbS means you
don't need your computer on 24/7. But accessing the Touch via the web is
slightly more complicated.

With this background, let us know a little more about what you're
trying to do, what errors, if any you're getting, etc. and folks here
can help.  

p.s. welcome to the forums. You'll find it useful.
