My config: a modem-routeur Netgear DG834Gv3 a macpro plugged by ethernet port a macmini by wifi a macbook pro by wifi Since I 've installed this routeur, internet access and sharing works well but I can't see my shared iTunes libraries on the different mac at home. I've tried to create a rule and open a service on the port 3689 in the routeur but it doesn't work. The macos X firewall isn't activated. Same problem with iphoto libraries And I dont't see the other macs when I clik on 'Server' in the finder window. Can someone help me? Firewall rules usually only apply to the WAN port so unless you have configured the router otherwise, I would close that port. The one common item to all of your problems is mDNS or Bonjour.

That is what Macs use to advertise all of the services you listed. If all devices are on the same subnet, it should work with out any problems unless you have configured the router to filter multicasts. Are your wired and wireless clients on the same subnet? If they are not on the same subnet, your router would have to route multicasts.

Though most 'home' routers only route with regard to the WAN port, so I would look for some kind of filter that is stopping multicasts on the local network. I don't know enough about that router to say what it normally does with multicasts. Apple Footer.

The first step would be to open the folder /System/Library/CoreServices and run Wireless Diagnostics to get to the Utilities window (⌘+2) and run a wireless scan to check on your base station and whether the antenna on the Mac is picking up signals similar to your other devices. You'll want to inspect your base station (match the BSSID with the Mac address for your wireless router) and ensure that your signal to noise ratio is better than all of the ones I have shown. Ideally, your RSSI should be greater than -80 dBm: -90 dBm is bad, -60 dBm is OK, and your channel not within 2 of a neighboring station). From there, you could select performance or run the actual diagnostics or see if perhaps you need to select a channel with less interference. As you can see in this view, even with no wireless network connected, you can run the tool.

Once you join your network, this performance view will help you getting connected. Once you are connected, you can monitor things here and lastly, use the Info button to see what alternate channels you might try to let your Mac work with your exact router and the competing devices that also interfere with each other.
