Hello Chris, I just edited Apache\ CouchDB.app/Contents/Resources/couchdbx-core/etc/couchdb/local.ini and set bind_address = 192.168.1.102. When I restarted CouchDB, the application firewall asked me if I should allow beam.smp to accept connections. Once I allowed it, everything seems to work. I'm using OS X 10.7.5. Can you give us any additional information to help you troubleshoot the problem? Thanks, Troy
