Port 22? With PuTTY the first time I set up a new connection and attempt to connect I get a warning popup. After dismissing it (and on subsequent connections) the first thing is the prompt login as: If you don't see the prompt, I'd try hitting 'Enter' first. Most likely you won't be able to login until you see the prompt. Enter 'root', not the password at the first prompt. Then you'll get the password prompt, where you enter '1234', unless you've changed it. > 2) The Touch says it is successfully connected to my home network > wirelessly.

Have you enabled sharing under Settings > Advanced > USB & SD Storage > Sharing? I would also clear the password under 'Set Sharing Password'. It doesn't always show up in My Network Places. I don't know why, but it can be flaky. That shouldn't matter, though. You should be able to enter the IP address of the Touch in Windows Explorer \\192.18.10.105 Or you may be able to enter the name you've given it in Settings > Squeezebox Name. \\Henry Be sure to use the double backslashes. > I consulted myself - the admin of the Touch but of course no good news. > Windows XP on my computer didn't ask the password of the Touch or > anything when I clicked the icon.

The Touch's implementation of the server doesn't have a web browser, so you can forget that. > 3) If I disabled the Touch Server but didn't physically remove it > (unplugging the USB) then the Touch would tell me something like > "nothing was attached - but it couldn't connect the USB devices, try > again!" when I tried to restart the Touch Server.

For whatever reason, it may be necessary to do that with the device you're using. Some hard drives have a hard time spinning up because of their power requirement - you'll usually hear a very faint ticking sound if you place your ear next to the drive when that's the case and you can often tell by the lack of vibration that the disk isn't spinning. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90673 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
