The only thing I can think of is that it sounds like Back to My Mac is asking the DNS to resolve the name of some Apple server, and your ISPs DNS either has no idea where it is or has it blocked.
I would manually set my the DNS on my Mac to a public server, like 4.4.4.4 or open DNS, and see if Back to My Mac likes that better. My second attack would be to Google the syndrome, and my third would be to wireshark the connection, which is quite laborious. > On Apr 3, 2014, at 4:35 PM, Jeff Weinberger <j...@jeffweinberger.com> wrote: > >> On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 7:05 AM, LuKreme <krem...@kreme.com> wrote: >> On 02 Apr 2014, at 16:24 , Jeff Weinberger <j...@jeffweinberger.com> wrote: >> > "Back to my Mac isn't working properly because the DNS server is not >> > responding" and suggests I contact my internet service provider for a >> > different DNS server address. >> >> What are your DNS servers set to? >> >> Does B2MM work despite the message? > > > Sorry - missed this email....They are the defaults for my ISP: 76.14.0.8/9 > (all other services that use DNS - like web browsing - work just fine) and no > BTMM does not work > > UPDATE : > > I asked my new ISP to reconnect my line to my old ISP (they can access the > cable closets in my building).
