Wireless Connection

this is a very out of the ordinary problem, but when i connect to my wireless via my iPhone i can use the internet but when i try to connect to an app called Remote which controls and access my iTunes Library my phone doesnt show up in the wireless devices list on my HackMac, when i try it on my Windows Partition however it does show up and connect.

Does anyone know whats wrong?

Milanca Project ::: Mac OS X 10.6.1 Retail ::: Vanilla Kernel ::: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4GHz ::: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 256MB ::: 4GB DDR2 RAM ::: GIGABYTE GA-EP35C-DS3R

are you connecting via wireless on the Hacintosh? I had this issue for a while... also, what distro did you use to get OSx86 again? I know with LawlessPPC's distro, Bonjour didn't allow me to use file sharing or allow iTunes to let me connect to my AppleTV via wireless or over my LAN but I could use the Remote app on my iTouch. I was also having the same issue you are having with controlling iTunes using the Remote app. I could only solve it by using a different distro. This wasn't an isolated incident either (I reinstalled 4 times) and I never was able to pinpoint exactly what was wrong or to fix it so I switched back to Leo4Allv3 and haven't had any of those problems since.

Hope it helps.

it doesn't seem like an OS X problem then... it seems like your wireless adapter/router is creating a LAN/WLAN partition. I know with my DLINK DIR-655 I have an option to disable this partition so everything can see each other. check that out and get back to us.

I really don't know. I think I might have been wrong earlier by saying it isn't your system.

try the app Airsharing (or a freebie of the same nature) and see if you can connect to OS X.
