I've always had to use raw IP addresses with TouchOSC. I don't fully
understand this, but I think it has to do with DNS (Domain Name
System) not being able to find an entry for your machine. I think if you
have a router like an Airport then the iTouch can be configured to use
that for DNS, but if you try to connect directly to your computer without
a router it can't translate names to IP addresses.

When I was adding support for TouchOSC in Mobius, I used velcro
to attach an iTouch to the body of a guitar. It looks geeky as hell,
but it worked reasonably well for adjusting track output levels
and switching loops. I don't think I would use it for anything
where timing was critical though.
