Hi Dogmcd,
The procedure they describe involves doing some things that are a bit out of the ordinary. You have to log on to the Squeezebox via what is known as SSH, as opposed to http, ftp, etc.
The following paragraph from this page indicates how to do that, at least with the Touch:
So if your computer runs Mac OS X or Linux, you can simply follow these instructions, and then the instructions in post 3 of the thread I linked to earlier (noting that one of the entries in post 3 was corrected in one of the later posts following post 47).
If your computer uses Windows XP or Vista or 7, you will need to install "SSH client software." See this link, which references the Putty SSH client program.
The Squeezebox makers certainly haven't made this easy!
BTW, I don't own a Squeezebox, so my ability to further clarify any of this will be limited. Hopefully it will make sense to you.
Regards,

Enable ssh by navigating to Settings->Advanced->Remote Login. After checking the checkbox for enabling remote login, there will be a help message that tells you the IP address of the controller. Note this address.The user id, if it is not automatically entered, apparently is "root."
SSH into the machine using an SSH client (on Linux or OS X, just open a terminal and type "ssh root@(ip address of controller noted in previous step)", on Windows putty.exe is a good client to use, or use cygwin.
Default password of controller is "1234"
