How do I find the IP address of the computer where I have installed SlimServer?
On Windows: Click Start > Run, type in cmd and hit enter. In the DOS
window, type ipconfig and hit enter.
On Mac OS X: Go to System Preferences > Network. Under the ‘Show:’
drop-down, pick the network interface you are using, then click TCP/IP. Your
IP address will be displayed.
On Linux or UNIX: Open up a shell and type ifconfig and hit enter.
Squeezebox can’t connect to my computer running SlimServer.
This could be due to a firewall being active on the computer.
Macintosh: You will have to create a new exception in the built-in firewall to
allow the Squeezebox to connect to SlimServer. To do this:
1. Open System Preferences > Sharing, and click ‘Firewall’
2. Click ‘New...’ to create a new rule
3. For ‘Port Name:’ choose ‘Other’
4. For ‘Port Number, Range or Series:’ type ‘3483, 9000’
5. For ‘UDP Port Number(s):’ specify ‘3483’ (Mac OS 10.4 only)
6. For ‘Description:’, type ‘SlimServer’
7. Click OK, and ensure that your new exception is checked on
Windows: Windows XP Service Pack 2 turns on a built-in firewall by default.

this:

2. Click Security Center
3. Click Windows Firewall under ‘Manage security settings for:’
4. Click the Exceptions tab
