Q: Sharing Library Over Shared Internet

Today I had to move my Airport Extreme router into another room because of a new ISP and where they had to install their box and I have my iTunes library on a Mac Pro tower that does not have wifi so I cannot run an Ethernet cable into the AirPort Extreme.

 

I've connected the Mac Pro to my iMac and "shared internet connection" (which is working just fine) but my shared iTunes library is not showing up on my Apple TVs or iPads. How can I solve this?

    I get lost here. Wi-fi doesn't use an Ethernet cable.

    I know...it's confusing to me too,

     

    My Airport Extreme had to be moved to the laundry room. My Mac Pro with my iTunes library is in my office and my Mac Pro does NOT have wifi built in. So I connected via ethernet cable to my iMac (which is also in my office and does have wifi) and turned on internet sharing on my iMac. So now my Mac Pro is able to use the internet just fine BUT my iTunes library is not shared across my network even though Home Sharing is turned on.
