    Okay, So I was trying to use itunes new home sharing. But when I finally got it to work with my brothers computer I got this message.
    "Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689"
    So how do I check the firewall?

    Go to control panel->windows firewall->exceptions tab->and see if iTunes is selected. If not, select it yourself.
    Then, in the same tab, click "add port". In the name box write something like "iTunes port". And in the port tab write 3689 (the port you want).
    Click ok until you're done, and then try to see if it worked.

    It isn't? Hmm... yeah, try turning it on and doing what I told you. But if iTunes is already selected there, then don't add thr port and see if it works just the way it is. If it doesn't work, then add the port and see if iTunes work now. If iTunes still doesn't work, then turn off windows firewall and post here and we'll see.

    I turned it on, itunes was already clicked. So I went to tell my brother so that in case his was off then it will work. We don't happen to have the best of relations so I might not find out until later if he tried or not.
