[CUBE] iTunes 4

[a l a n t h o m p s o n]

OK, if you have the firewall enabled, this is what you need to do to 
get the Rendezvous music library sharing to work.  You need to open the 
port used by iTunes in the sharing control panel under the firewall tab 
- but the catch is that you need to do this manually.  Click the "new" 
button and select "Other" from the drop-down menu and then add the port 
used by iTunes for sharing - (tcp) 3689, then give that service a 
descriptive name.  I used "iTunes Library Sharing."  click OK.  The 
sharing should now work (I did this on both my iBook, and the Cube).

They really should add this to the Readme, or have updated the firewall 
GUI as part of the iTunes installation (or maybe they will with the 
forthcoming 10.2.6).
