Are those firewall rules on the SqueezeCenter computer or on your
actual Internet gateway? Or is your SqueezeCenter computer also your
home firewall?
I've seen the audio playback feature still take a few tries to get
going--as in, enable the player, exit and restart SqueezePlay. Perhaps
more than once. There's some weird state persistence that takes a few
restarts to fully resolve. I assume it's an interaction not just on
the client side but the server state.
