The issue is that iTunes uses multicast to find resources on the network. Unless you have multicast enabled routers in there you won’t be able to route multicast. My guess is that a small embedded consumer device doesn’t have the routing stuff in it that it needs to be able to do this properly.

The “make it work” solution is to use a mdns proxy like RendezvousProxy to let people on the remote network see the server.

I do see the option to not Filter MultiCast from the WAN. Do I need to unfilter from the WAN and also from the LAN side? I attmpeted that (turning off the WAN Filter MultiCast) and turning off the Firewall but that didn’t seem to help.

It sounds like LAN-to-WAN MultiCast needs to be passed through.

Thanks for the tip on RProxy. I’ll also check that out once I hit a dead-end with DD-WRT.
