Airport internet sharing and iTune streaming?

Only streaming hardware I know of that works with iTunes 100% is Airport Express. Third party hardwares do not play musics purchased through iTunes store.

Airport Extreme Card can be used to set up ad hoc internet connection with other computers with airport capability. It does not stream iTunes as far as I am aware.

Hi Magpie ,

thank you for your reply.

All this is very confusing to me. I have a powermacg5 with the airport extreme card built-in. I had created a network to play itunes in 2 different locations, worked just right. I also had a linksys router I was using to connect my ppc (via ethernet) and my new macbook (wireless).
Due to some problems between linksys and ichat I decided to use airport to get my wireless internet in the house.
Now the problem seems to be that if i am sharing the internet i can't get my remote speakers (hookup to 2 airport express) to work. If I stop sharing the internet itunes streaming works, can't get both to work at the same time.

'Hope this is not to confusing.......

Thanks

frederic
