Re-enable Internet Sharing In 4.1+?

So, in my dorm, we have quite a few people who have iTunes on their windows machines, and one or two apples users as well lots of music sharing going on, yay!

However, I can't share my music, because I'm behind a firewall (I run three computers off a Linksys wireless router); thus, iTunes thinks I'm on my own network, and refuses to share with anyone beyond my immediate subnet. Now, I don't really want to share music with myself, so.... *

Is there any way I can re-enable sharing beyond my local subnet in iTunes 4.1+ for windows? I don't want to have to drop back down to 4.0. =(

This is probably a dumb question but did you enable it? Look at the screenie I have. Just go to edit -> Prefences -> Sharing. Then just set it up. I'm behind I firewall to. And it works great.

I did what you said and it still won't work for me! :/

Hmmm. The only thing I can think of putting all the ocmputers in the same group. Like WORKGROUP. And make sure your using 4.2.

*nods* I did it all - however, that's not the problem. The problem is that apple disabled sharing to computers not on the same subnet. *grumble*

Ohhh I think I gotch ya. Your on a router with three other computers. But you want to share with others? If this is true. I don't know what to tell ya. I think that you have to be in that network.

Sorry I tried.

did you try establishing a VNP connection and letting iTunes guess you're all on the same net? I'm still experimenting with this, but I got connected to my home computer once...

Try configuring your router to route another subnet to your subnet.

@n0z4rides321 (Note: Off Topic), what program is your finder menu?

I'm still trying to establish a VPN connection. I'm damn willing to bring this to work.

well, when I'm connected via VPN, my server has two connections active, the real network and the cheated VPN, now can somebody tell me how to set priority to the VPN connection instead of the network connection? I think this way iTunes can be cheated...
