Connecting to SqueezeNetwork for the first time

[svmd]

I have an iBook G3/500 and just installed an SB2 and SlimServer 6.1.1, opened ports 3483 and 9000. MP3s and radio play but when I try to connect to the SqueezeNetwork, I can't. I haven't been able to get my Squeezebox PIN. I've tried it with the browser interface active and with it off. Sorry I don't have more info, I'm at a loss here - the box tells me it can't connect, not why. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Additionaly, pinging "service.us.squeezenetwork.com" from my computer was UNsuccessfull.

I'm able to ping it just fine. Perhaps a firewall problem on your end, or your ISPs?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I had to lower the intensity of the gateway/router firewall to "yellow alert" from orange. Everythings fine now. Thanks again.
