iTunes, shared music, routers, etc., Calling all nerds... Options

[Erik B.]

Here's my situation. Because KU is a bunch of douche bags when it comes to their network, I have to pay $80 for every computer I want to have internet access (they bind it to your mac address). Being the resourceful guy I am, I just have my router clone my mac address and everything is peachy.

The problem I am having now, however, is that I can't access shared anybody's shared music via itunes because Apple has gone and made it so that you can only stream music that is on the same LAN as yourself. The problem: my lan is a series of 3 computers that are all in my apartment.

Does anybody know how to make iTunes think that it's part of the larger LAN and not just the little network I have running here in my apartment? I guess it's reading my IP as 129.168.*.* and won't look past that subnet.

Did that make sense?

i've heard there are ways of doing this but i never really looked into them. I think also that everyone doing it has to be using the same client. I have a feeling that whatever protocol apple uses for the sharing is designed not to be router-transversible, kind of like broadcasts n stuffs.
