How do you connect this 323 to a mac?
My guess is that this question is posted already hunderds of times now here???
Only... the thing is.. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I have no problem with my vista pc, but with os x..... i really don't know what to do?? Can't even see the itunes in itunes on os x, again no problem in vista.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I'm connecting the mac with airport and got no real IT networking knowledge, so please bare with me

In Finder press COMMAND+K and connect to the share "smb://DNSIPADRESS/SHARENAME", e.g. smb://192.168.1.10/data.
Maybe iTunes will work afterwards. BTW, did you activate the setting to look for shared libraries?
Have fun

Great, the share did work!!!!
I did set the setting in itunes to look for an itunes server, but that hasn't worked for me yet... :S
Is it possible to connect via the internet to an itunes server?

Pleasure, don't know if it works via internet - I would assume that itunes only scans the LAN, could work if you use a VPN connection.

In the first version the iTunes server was possible to access over internet. However apple was slapped by the record companies and has since disabled this function. Now it only works on the local LAN (same subnet).
There is ways to forward this with mt-daapd but you will still need a server on your Local LAN for iTunes to pick it up.

What kind of server could that be and is that server something you install on the DNS-323?
And besides iTunes... could you do it with winamp or Windows Media Player perhaps?

If you have your DNS-323 on your LOCAL lan i.e not behind a wireless router or so. Then you don't need to do anything. However if you have a router inbetween you need a server on both sides of the router.

I'm sorry frodo, but i don't really understand quite what you mean?

I have a cable modem which feeds the router with internet.
Then the routers connects to the vista PC, the DNS-323 and through airport with the iMac G5
