EETimes: Supercomputer benchmarks to be overhauled by 2006 An app called Rendezvous Proxy allows you to trick your computer into thinking that any foreign host is local to your subnet. This means you can share music with iTunes and access other rendezv…

even simplier than what I just explained above :

1°) Connect to a library with iTunes using your favorite website.
2°) Open the Terminal
3°) Type : lsof | grep iTunes

That’s it. The IP your connected will be listed with : “(ESTABLISHED)” next to it.

1°) Open a connection to a server using your favorite web site (so far I only know of two : shareitunes.com and ituneshare.org)
2°) Start to listen to ANY song listed here
3°) Open the Terminal
4°) Type : sudo tcpdump -qtn port 3689 (copy & paste it)
5°) Enter the administrator password

And that’s it. You’ll get quite a lot of information here. Basically it will show packet IPs in and out of your computer for the port 3689 (aka “daap://”). So you’ll notice two IPs, your and the one to the server.

Ho, and don’t forget the last step :

6°) CTRL-C !

Or the packet listing will go on and on, and on, and on…

Of course, if you’re already connected to a server either downloading or listening to music on the port 3689, when typing the command in the Terminal, you’ll get even more IPs ! Try to remember which one is yours at least.

I love the Terminal. I just wish someone could make a script that would show the IPs without opening and typing all this. A sort of automation after all… Anyone gifted with programming skills in here ?

sometimes, usually when it has a hard time connecting, iTunes shows the IP address of the server, or compter you are trying to connect to.. but when its all smooth, it doesn’t let you view the IP..

is there any way to view what IP’s you are connecting to, through iTunes or any other means, i.e. Terminal, a script, etc?

thanks

When there click on a share… then when the pop up is open do a right mouse click real quick and VIEW SOURCE. The address will look as follows…

setTimeout(“top.location = "daap://12-208-87-186.client.attbi.com/"”, 2000);

you want the address AFTER the daap
