According to the remote application, all you have to do is be on the same network and run the "Remote" program and search for a new library. iTunes will recognize the iPod as a remote and you just have to enter the passcode to use it to control your computer. Unfortunately, my hackintosh won't find my ipod I've tried rebooting both, checked my ports and firewall and I can't find the problem. The program does work though, I can control my brother's computer no problem, and we're all on the same Wifi network (I triple checked lol). Any idea's on why it doesn't work and if theres a way I can make work?

Have you shared your iTunes Library ??

yup, it might be worth mentioning, I can connect to my computer using teleport, but it's obviously slower if I'm just controlling music
