I am not able to tell from the description what the problem is, but it could be 
that you do not run your own server. Squeezer does not work with 
MySqueezeBox.com, it requires that you run Logitech Media Server (LMS), on your 
own server. 

I hope this helps, otherwise please post some more info info about your server 
and players, and I will try yo help.

I do run LMS, Debian 7.7.3, on Ubuntu. I can connect via HTTP on port 9000, and 
the Logitech Squeezebox Controller app works. I have a Squeezebox v3 and also a 
piCore Player. Check history at itjerk.com.

I have ensured that port 9090 is open on my computer and disabled password 
support in LMS settings. 

Squeeze just doesn't connect. Happy to provide any further details, would love 
to use this product.

My guess is that it is some setting in the server, which causes the problem, so 
here are a few hints.

Squeezer connects through the SqueezeboxServers command line interface (CLI). 
The standard CLI port is 9090, and can be changed by the web-interface. See the 
attached screenshot. If you have a telnet program installed on a computer, you 
can test the CLI connection like the example on the second screenshot.

You can configure the port number in Squeezer by specifying it with a colon in 
the address.
E.g., if your server is on IP 192.168.0.3 port 9092, enter the address as 
192.168.0.3:9092.

When you say that you can connect via HTTP on port 9000, do you mean from your 
phone? If not this is a good test.

Finally Squeezer actually does support password protected LMS. I would leave 
this off however, until you have a connection.

Definitely works on the server itself, but other computers on the subnet cannot 
connect via 9090. turned firewall off, still can't connect. 

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 9090
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.

In that case, I think it's the Advanced/Security/Block Incoming Connections 
setting. (see attached screenshot).

Your security setup looks ok.

I have a few questions to help pinpoint the problem.

1. From the screenshot it seems the computer which runs LMS has IP address 
192.168.0.12, Is that correct?
2. Can you connect to 192.168.0.12:9000 from the browser on the same device you 
run Squeezer (probably your phone)?
3. What is the ip address of your phone (system settings/wifi/menu/advanced)?
4 .What is the result of running a scan for servers from squeezer?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. 192.168.0.21
4. 192.168.0.12:9090

Hmm, your configuration seems ok, and both the phone and server is on the 
network, since the scan result is correct, and it connects via the browser.

The netstat shows that the server is indeed listening on port 9090, it doesn't 
say however which program is listening, i.e. if it is LMS.

If I understand correct, connections to port 9090 is only possible from the 
server itself, not from the phone (via Squeezer), and not from other computers. 
This leads me to believe the problem is on the server (not LMS but something 
else on the server). We've had another issue, where the problem was that port 
9090 was used for something else.

If this is not the case, then I'm afraid I'm not able to dig deeper into the 
problem, but I'm sure you will be able to get help from wiki.slimdevices.com 
and/or forums.slimdevices.com/.

I have some news. I recently rebuilt my LMS server with Ubuntu 14.04LTS. I no 
longer have issues with Squeezer connecting to it. Chalk it up to something 
somewhere.
