you don't need that password. In settings, if you are at the main settings
heading, does your network name show up in the wifi button?
If not, go to wifi and make sure to activate the right network or the network
again if needed. sometimes, wifi connections do not stick, right marcy?

I have an iPhone 4 but using the latest update. I don't think that is the
problem.
In my preferences/general section, I have "share libraries" checked.
My "require password" option in the sharing tab of preferences was NOT
checked. I checked it to see if it will make a difference.
I then go to my settings/iPod section.
I see the music heading but not the home sharing section you mentioned.
I then go to the settings/network session.
Wi-Fi is on and The correct network name is shown selected on the list.
Suspicious info1: Next to the network name it states "activate to join the
network". I guess this means that it sees the network but is not connected.
When I double tap on the more button it takes me to a section with several
areas to input IP addresses. These are currently set to whatever their
default is since I never entered anything there. I recognize the router IP
as correct. Where do the other values come from? Are they just standard
settings or do they have to match settings elsewhere on my system? The
results from running Ipconfig on my computer? Is been so long since I have
had to do more than plug in an Ethernet cable that I am unsure about what to
do with what I see.
Suspicious info2: the field "Client ID" is empty. Should anything go there?
And if so... What???
It feels like it is getting hotter!

on my iphone (3gs) I'm sitting on "settings>ipod. the first thing I see is
the "music heading" followed by several settings then comes "home sharing
heading" below this heading is my apple id and password.
Note: you need to go to itunes>preferences> sharing on your computer and
make sure home sharing is on and then you can share whatever you want. in
general preferences, make sure shared libraries is checked. I wonder if
your iphone is seeing your network.

OK, I just tried this. If you have home sharing turn on with your
computer, make sure it is as well on your iPhone. To do this, in settings,
double tap on iPod and flick to the Home Sharing area. Make certain your
Apple ID and password are present in the appropriate fields.
When it is, start the iPod app and double tap on the, More, button.
Then flick to the Sharing button and double tap that. Your library name
should show up. Once you double tap that, it will take a good ten seconds,
but you then should see your library on your computer.
