Problem solved.

A long time ago I had installed Intego NetBarrier, decided not to bother
about it, quit it but did not uninstall. That left a daemon permanently
running in the background that I was not aware of.

and the NetBarrier daemon had added the Touch to a stop list,
permanently preventing connection to my computer. Reason given was that
the Touch had tried a port scan (I'm not sure if this refers to normal
behaviour of the Touch or was because of issues I had with the
computer).

I set the Touch to be on the Trusted list and all is now well.

Incidentally, having a trusted list, knowing the address of LMS, etc,
are reasons why one might want devices to have a fixed IP address,
whether this is done by setting a static address on the device or by
reserving an address in the router.
