I don't know what I am doing wrong... this isn't working for me. I have the correct ports open and I have iTunes set to share my library but, it still gives me an error when I try to access it in iTunes on the Remote computer. Can anyone help me?

"Can anyone help me?"

Try changing 'localhost' in the ssh command to '127.0.0.1'

Use this command instead of the original one I suggested initially :

dns-sd -P "name of server" _daap._tcp local 3690 localhost.local 127.0.0.1 &

it should be much better
