You can check out this thread from the group for some tips. Most likely the issue is a software firewall that is blocking the connection.

Hi, im having the same problem as LJ. When i use Safari on my Ipod touch it says “Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding.” Can anyone help me? I use a PC by the way.

i’m on a mac (most recent version of leopard, 10.5.3 i think) and i set my firewall to allow signal but whenever i enter the url in safari, i get the message that safari can’t open the page because it can’t find the server. when i try to go to the url on my macbook’s safari, it works just fine. i also tried the windows version and everything works great and i can open the url on my ipod touch. i tried the bonjour name and that didn’t connect either

Hey, my iPod touch is not connecting to the signal server. I set the firewall to allow it to connect. I entered the URL into my safari page. It has that stupid error message that says, “Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding.” Help? I’m not on a Mac.

I would definitely throw my support towards J. River media center. It is the best player out there, period.

Hi Peter,

You can try connecting using the computer’s Bonjour name instead of the IP address. To do that, open System Preferences on your Mac and click Sharing. Near the top of the screen is a message along the lines of “Other computers can access your computer at X.local”. You can use this “X.local” name in place of the IP address. For example:

http://matts-macbook-pro.local:3569

Just let me know if that doesn’t help and we’ll investigate further.

Thanks Matt.

I just think j-river plus this would really be a great set up, as you can set up remote control of j-river that works (on a PDA), but it not nearly as cute as your solution.

I’m still undecided, but as I only really need one zone, and I can hardwire under the house from PC to amp, I might go itunes/signal/ipod touch.
