This is not going to scale when more of these devices arrive
in the house in the hands of friends.
I would like the iPod to behave courteously and announce its
name when it comes on the network, when name resolution and
all the rest is handled automatically. I don't want to "fix"
my setup when there's nothing wrong with it, if the problem
is fixable where the problem is, which at the moment appears
to be the iPod.
thanks Joe
