I just launched my laptop, fired up a 3G Dialup connection and shared that, then connected the Touch with an ethernet cable to the laptop.
The behaviour is different now, instead of endlessly trying to connect to mysqueezecenter.com, it will now give me an error message after a short time, telling me that it is unable to connect and talks about some firewall setting. There is none, I disabled the firewall on the laptop for that task. System diagnosis tells me the Touch aquired an IP in the local range, set the correct Gateway and DNS Server (both 192.168.0.1 which is the laptop) and it did resolve the IP adress for mysqueezebox.com correctly to 89.202.121.131. I can ping the machine from the laptop, but system diagnosis on the Touch reports a ping error, probably it tries to reach the mysqueezebox.com server. Although I can ping that from the laptop itself. Ports 3483 and 9000 report that they are not connected. I would expect the same behaviour when I do connect the Touch to my home network environment insted of the laptop with its shared connection and my guess is that now incoming packages from 3483 and 9000 fail to reach the touch as there is no port forwarding on that shared dialup connection. With the Touch up and running and displaying the diagnosis screen, I then disconnected the ethernet connection and plugged the device into my router. I rearranged my port forwarding on the router so that the new IP of the Touch is now the target for the TCP and UDP packages, to my amazement, the screen now displays that ping is ok and both 3483 and 9000 are ok as well. Back from the system diagnosis to the connection and retry to connect: Guess what, now it is the endless waltz of the dot again, it is again just stuck while trying to connect to mysqueezebox.com. The diagnosis told me that the ports are open and mysqueezebox.com is reachable (at least with ping) - but it will still not proceed on that screen.
