I already tried it but then I don't even see the entry in iTunes.
According to the log, nearly everything is OK:
2007-02-20 21:11:26: Starting rendezvous daemon
2007-02-20 21:11:26: mDNS Error -65537

Except iTunes don't seem to see it and I can't find a decent explanation
for the "mDNS Error -65537" which, according to Google, is something like
"unknown error".
