Only broadcasts for about an hour

I’ve used mt-daapd in the past, on a freebsd box with no problems, used it briefly on windows too, so I’m somewhat familiar with how to set up and configure it, but I have this issue where it seems to be working, I can stream to any of my laptops on the network, but then suddenly after about an hour or so it will stop working.

The log never shows anything more than something like this:

2008-11-09 18:41:19: Rescanning database

2008-11-09 18:56:14: Client 192.168.1.42 disconnected

So that hasn’t been any help – it just stops showing up in my itunes libraries. According to /sbin/service status, the web admin panel, and everything else I know to check mt-daapd is still running and broadcasting, it just cant be seen on the network.

Here’s my set up:

iTunes 8

Any ideas as to how I could fix this?
